Delicate and full of charm, Blushing Lanterns lives up to its name with airy buds that open into soft, white-blush blooms. Each flower hangs like a tiny lantern, glowing gently atop slender stems that dance in the breeze. A romantic addition to cottage gardens and meadows, they bring a light, whimsical touch to the landscape. Easy to grow and adored by pollinators, it blooms freely and adds a sense of quiet magic wherever it's planted.
