Palm-sized blooms on this striking variety are stunning. Long, pointed flower petals resemble bird feathers, and as blooms are opening, the center petals are swirled. These beautiful and durable flowers hold up wonderfully in both the garden and the vase on long, strong stems. A great choice for wedding work and a must grow for late summer and autumn bouquets.
