Read detailed description :

The flowers are double, cream coloured and abundant from May to July, repeating in September. Relatively rustic, spreading and compact form. Ideal in sheltered rock gardens, bordering terraces or in containers as a houseplant in a cool room. Lustrous and bright dark green leaves. Appreciates a rich, fresh and well drained soil, in a filtered sunny exposure. Avoid planting towards a clear Eastern exposure, as direct sun, in winter, may burn the plant during frosts. Resistant to cold temperatures down to -12°C in good conditions.
