The Pearl Polianthes

The Pearl Polianthes

Long lasting in a vase!

Lovely, aromatic and a joy to behold, The Pearl displays its double, funnel-shaped blooms on tall racemes that grow in abundance in full sun. Cut a few stems to perfume your home with lovely cutflower arrangements. Pollinators (and people) love its unique form and heady fragrance, which is reminiscent of gardenias and orange blossoms.
