Good foliage. Quite distinct. In early stages a dumpy, conical shape; later the crown expands horizontally making a cylindrical or “plug-hat” flower. The color fades also, becoming white in collar and extreme center. Plant is excellent for garden decoration. “A very distinct and interesting flower.”—Boyd. “Rose-type bloom when first opening, but soon expanding into a very high crown so that flower is oftentimes higher than it is broad.”—Thurlow.
