    These are great cut flowers with many flower spikes on each plant and a great bushy habit that develops over time into almost a hedge form. For a plant designated as white, it's pretty far off the mark. I kept looking for Celway White in my garden, I knew I had planted it, and if it had been cream or straw yellow I would have recognized it right away, but turns out I should have been looking for something more saturated.
