Blush pink flowers on elegant, tall stems make Blossom Pearl a natural choice for cutting gardens and arrangements. The variety performs best in cool weather and blooms reliably 70 to 85 days from seed, with a single sowing producing flowers from July into August. Its graceful form and extended bloom window reward successive sowings with waves of fresh color all season long.
Blossom Pearl Agrostemma excels as a cut flower. The long, graceful stems and blush pink blooms are particularly suited to fresh arrangements, where 1 to 2 open flowers per spray create an appealing, natural look.
