COMMENTS:
'Sweet Dreams' is a stunning 2002 American
introduction with large flowers of white, flushed
soft pink with dark raspberry colored centers. It
forms a floppy, bushy mound from a central crown
and prefers average to rich, well drained soil. It
becomes tolerant of dry conditions when
established. The blooming period can be extended to
September if regularly deadheaded. Ideal to plant
in groups of three or more to form a broad mass of
color and is attractive to bees and butterflies.
Rosea has a reputation for being temperamental.
Suggested cultivars:
C. rosea 'American Dream' has rosy pink
flowers with a yellow center.
