Description

Large, spurred flowers with clear colors of white, lavender, yellow, deep red and pink are borne on 2 1/2' plants. The strikingly beautiful blooms make good cut flowers. They require partial shade or full sun, along with well-drained soil. The colors, however, cannot be chosen. -Holland Wildflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation systems at least once per month (or after each mowing).

Monitor each cycle to identify obvious problems and to confirm that all of the components are functioning properly.

Contact your water agency for assistance.
