When Doves Cry blends clean clarity with bold drama for a striking presence in the border. 36″ (91 cm), Midseason bloom. The standards are icy white with a lemon-yellow flush up the midribs, and style arms carry an icy blue cast. The falls are plush burgundy, framed by a wide precise lavender band and a darker wire rim. Beards start white at the base, tipping yellow. Slight fragrance is an added delight.
