A white form of the common pink ones..not that invasive..but still invasive.. above the ground able to influence gently a whole flowerbed by her airy elegance ....flowering from june into september...but oh oh..underneath in the soil..her roots are threatening the roots of neighbourplants...so better to enjoy her with good gardening management !
