In Greek, 'Cytherea' refers to the goddess of love, who is supposed to have come ashore on the island of 'Cytherea', after being born of sea foam. Reminiscent of the lightness of the seascape's foam of 'Cytherea', these blossoms are just as lightly buoyant in the landscape; six-inch, intensely coral-rose, bowl-shaped, semi-double flowers held aloft sturdy, 24" upright stems. Blossom color softens as they age, creating a simultaneous bouquet of colors ranging from deep French-rose to pale peachy-pink. Attractive glossy, dark-green, dissected foliage remains attractive through summer and fall. An herbaceous perennial. EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITY.
