Johnny's Seeds says: "Vigorous plants produce abundant, artful blooms." Cheerful faces sparkle in shades of apricot, gold, peach, lavender, plum, purple, and cream. You could spend hours gazing at the intricate patterning of the petals and their varied splashes, flecks, and stripes of color. Each plant seems to produce a unique color combination. Not selected for a short, mounding plant habit like most modern cultivars, this mix yields taller, more vigorous plants in a range of heights. Sweetly fragrant. Bloom size: 1 1/2–2 1/2". Overwinters well in our (Zone 5) unheated tunnel, yielding 12–18" stems that are perfect for mixing into early spring bouquets.
