A melodramatic mix of light and dark cornflowers: deep plums, moody mauves, light lavendars with purple centres. Some of the darkest flowers feature white tips on each petal. These summer bloomers grow to 80-100 cm (32-40") tall. Excellent in borders and bouquets, and as garnishes in savoury dishes and desserts. Fleuroselect Novelty 2012.
Annual.
