 across when well grown. The petals are broad and ribbon-like, the center 

 shows, adding an artistic charm, closely resembling the semi-double Pseonies 

 in appearance. They bloom profusely, have long stems and so are specially 

 fitted for cut flower decoration in addition to their value for garden use.
