fringed violet-blue outer petals with lacy lavender to near
white inner petals for an overall two-toned effect that is
almost iridescent. |

Care Zone 5 |
Deadheading will lengthen bloom time. Deadhead to lateral
buds and then remove entire flower stalk when bloom is
finished. Cut off dead foliage in spring. |
