White Wonder makes a cloud bank at border height. Branching 2-foot plants carry dense clusters of snowy, half-inch double flowers, each resembling a tiny chrysanthemum and together creating a light-filled summer presence.
The fine stems are ideal bouquet filler and dry beautifully for everlasting work. This hardy perennial also settles comfortably into sunny or lightly shaded beds, where its many small flowers create a generous, informal effect.
