Comments:
This primorse produces white flowers that turn rosy pink from the outer edge of the petals inwards as they age. May produce white or near white flowers that that never turn a darker color. They spread by sending our roots beyond the established clump and are almost invasive because they also self-seed. They are effective in rock gardens, wildflower plantings, and naturalistic borders and along the edges of roads and walks. They are commonly seen along highways throughout their region of adaptability.
