Details
This stunner is a carefree, long-blooming cultivar that is a must in the cut-flower garden! Strawberry Fields produces an abundance of gorgeous flowers on tall branching plants. Expect flowers from summer to fall. To dry, simply cut the stem at the desired height, trim off any foliage, and hang upside-down in a well-ventilated, dry, somewhat cool location. Resistant to heat and drought.
