Lemon Swirl is such a refreshing treat in summer! The two colors playfully mix with each other reminding me of soft-serve ice cream twists. Substantial plants reach 3-4 ft tall and 2-3 feet wide with a beautiful scent when blooming in the late afternoon/evening. An old-fashioned flower that deserves more attention in modern gardens. Some solid white and solid yellows in this strain as well. Large seeds and robust growth make them a great choice for beginners. Hummingbirds love to visit them.
