Description
P. 'Peppermint Twist' makes a sturdy clump of 16" tall stems, topped with large flower heads of fluorescent pink and white striped flowers. The overall effect is similar to P. 'Natascha', but much more robust and more of a candy pink instead of lavender. In the afternoon, the flowers are deliciously fragrant.A sport from P. 'Candy Floss'.
