Description
Small, single flowers held in very large heads, rather like a hydrangea, produced almost continuously from early summer into autumn. Soft apricot buds open to pure white, with a hint of soft lemon behind the stamens. Flowers have an average diameter 4 cm (2.25").
Blooms constantly flushes throughout the season.
The growth is bushy and rather upright. It is extremely healthy and almost thornless. Ideal for growing at the back of a border and is particularly suited to growing as a hedge.
