Laurentia Avant-Garde™ White
Wonderfully fragrant and unbelievably profuse!
The flowers begin a full month sooner than other Blue Stars, and each is a miniature masterpiece. Their sweet scent fills the garden, and may be shared with less fortunate areas by growing a few Avant-Gardes™ in containers for placement in any sunny to partly shaded spot!
Avant-Garde™ reaches 18 to 24 inches high and wide, with a rounded, very dense, flower-filled habit. This plant is relatively little used in the US, but has been a favorite in Japan for years. Its time has finally come -- these masses of sweet-scented blooms will prove irresistible to gardeners looking for easy-to-grow, long-blooming, beautiful color! And if you like these bright white blooms, you must try the original Blue and new Pink.
This Laurentia is quite tolerant of heat and humidity, blooming even through the most intense southern summers. It is a superb bedding choice, blooming right down to the ground! Pkt is 20 seeds.
