A favourite for its effortless beauty and abundance of blooms. Grown for its tall willowy stems and delicate silken blooms in the softest shade of blush, this heirloom-style flower brings a touch of vintage charm to the field and bouquets. It blooms generously, weaving between rows with a light, airy presence and swaying gently with every breeze. Plants are short-lived and benefit from a succession planting.
