Characteristics

  • Foliage : Finely cut, its rich green deciduous foliage forms a vigorous bushy base that beautifully highlights the whiteness of the blooms.
  • Flowers : Produces compact and spectacular spikes of double, pure white flowers, irresistibly attracting pollinators.
  • Light : Thrives fully under radiant sun, an essential condition for generous flowering.
  • Habit : Upright, proud, and naturally compact, avoiding the typical flopping of taller varieties.
  • Growth : Moderate growth rate, reaching a very structured height.
  • Soil : Prefers soil rich in organic matter, loose, and above all, well-drained.
  • Temperature : Excellent hardiness, perfectly adapted to Canadian Zone 3.
  • Resistances : Good tolerance to fungal diseases if proper spacing is maintained.

Utilization

  • Types of use : Ideal for perennial beds, garden borders, or in containers to enhance a terrace.
  • Decorative benefits : Creates a bright vertical focal point; superb as a cut flower for rustic bouquets.

Maintenance

  • Watering : Keep the soil uniformly moist, especially during periods of intense heat, without soaking the foliage.
  • Fertilization : Apply a phosphorus-rich fertilizer in the spring to stimulate flower production.
  • Pruning : Cut back flower stalks as soon as they fade to encourage a second bloom late in the season.
  • Planting : Ensure sufficient spacing to promote air circulation and plant in a hole enriched with compost.
  • Winter Protection : Apply mulch at the base in the fall to protect the crown from freeze-thaw cycles.
