The falls are snowy white with broad wine red borders and dense stippling over all but the central portion. Rigidly erect standards are also of purest white edged red purple, and the white styles are similarly tipped. Flowers up to 7 inches across are carried high above the attractive arching of superior styling and color appeal. Early to midseason. 3 feet.
