Description
Soft, simple, and romantic, White Swan is a beautiful perennial with creamy white petals surrounding a warm golden cone. The blooms sway gracefully on sturdy stems, bringing a lovely, natural feel to the summer garden and bouquets. Truly, a classic for the cutting garden, it is easy to grow and long-lasting. Its soft colouring pairs beautifully with just about everything, while the blooms add a touch of cottage-garden charm. It’s also a favourite among pollinators, making it as useful as it is pretty.

Cold stratify seeds in refrigerator for two weeks before starting seeds. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. Harden off and transplant seedlings when weather is still cool.
Seeds can also be sown directly into the garden. Sow them shallowly or on the surface of well-draining soil in late fall for natural stratification.
Harvesting
Cut stems in the early morning or late evening when the flowers are firm and the petals are flat but not yet curled. Choose younger, less open blooms for longer vase life.
