  • Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Mar 8, 2012 6:14 AM concerning plant:
    The bloom is 8 inches, small-sized proliferous double, similar to 'Shiromidare', but smaller than that, diaphysis, sometimes ecblastesis will make an accessory flower that is malformed.

    Flower color is pure white.

    Thin but long branched shrub is a good grower. Leaf is small, incised, narrow.
