| Author's Notes | I grew these plants from seed in 2023, and they thrived in my garden. They were slower to bloom and did not have as many flowers. Although they are white, most of the flowers are light cream to dark cream. It's enjoyable to have in the garden, especially since I like to grow heirloom flowers. |
