Adding a touch of class to any garden with pale mauve, pink-mauve or grey-mauve, satiny flowers (depending on light), fully double at the start of the season followed by semi-double and then single flowers with a central boss of yellow anthers. All three flower types can often be seen on one plant at the same time. Best planted in semi-shade to prevent fading to white
