Description

White, slightly reflexed ray flowers surround the center of the flowers; a big, creamy golden dome overflowing with anemone-like stamens. This variety is super-floriferous and long-blooming. The bloom season begins in late spring in most climates, continues through summer, and even trickles into autumn. This introduction was bred to have a tight clumping habit, an unusual reflexing anemone flower form, and improved disease resistance. The blooms age exceptionally well, with multiple layers of pure white petals opening flat and gradually reflexing over time, pushing the dome further out into prominence.'Real Glory' reaches up to 26 inches high and 16 inches wide on strong stems, with dense branching and mid to dark-green, ovate foliage held below the blooms.
