Comments:
Flowers come in many colors and forms. Some are very fragrant and many are superb as cut flowers. Cut stems after frost and discard them in the trash as pruning may harbor diseases. Mulch in winter to prevent heaving and in summer to keep weeds away, conserve moisture and keep the roots cool. Believed to be deer resistant.
