Description
Enormous, conical flowerheads are possibly the largest amongst this species. From mid to late summer, the densely packed, creamy-white terminal panicles tower above the mid to dark green foliage. As the large sterile flowers mature, they assume a pleasing pink coloration. Upright to slightly spreading graceful specimen shrub for open locations or cut flowers. Proven to be an outstanding performer in the Longenecker Arboretum trials in Madison, Wisconsin.
