Comments
Easy to grow, didn't need support netting; Good planted alongside Cheerful White, as White Wonder was a little later; Perhaps it our climate, but we did not find the stock in this trial to be attractive as individual cut flowers, the fragrance and colors are great making them useful in mixed bouquets, but not as focal flowers.
