This is a beautiful plant, if it performs for you. I orderd 5, but some of the stalks were weak and spindly, and some of the blooms were solid pink instead of white and pink. I'd say 2 of the plants are robust, but have mixed blooms (as you can see in my photo), and the other 3 were punier. I don't know if the quality of plants I received was due to the fact that's a new variety, or it was a crummy mail order company. (I can't remember who it was...) Still worth it I guess, because it's stunning!
