  • Posted by ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Jan 28, 2022 3:19 PM concerning plant:
    This cultivar is a new introduction from Jellitto Perennial Seeds in 2006. It is noted as having petals that are even more slender and longer than the typical mother species and that are white with a pale pink tinge, giving an impression of hula dancing in the wind. This plant also tends to grow a little larger than the mother species. I saw two specimens at the trial gardens of the Mount Cuba Center in northern Delaware where they are developing and/or testing cultivars of American native plants that are more adapted to the typical residential yard than the wild straight species.
