Plant Description

This selection has improved tolerance to poorly drained soil, heat and humidity. Resistant to root and crown disease, unlike the species. Exotic white flowers with yellow-orange markings appear on tall stalks. Flowers seldom set seedpods, resulting in a longer bloom season. A portion of the proceeds benefits the America's Wetlands Foundation, helping to restore wetlands in Louisiana.
