Open Arms

Open Arms. 2023. Bremer.  Herbaceous Hybrid.  Parentage:  (Tranquil Dove x Vanilla Schnapps).  Seedling #NB-H4.  The 5 inch flowers have a double row of petals of bright cream-white coloration.   Petals turn upward at their edges.   Filaments are neon violet at bases with stigmas of matching colors.   Carpels are covered in short white hairs.  Obscure and incomplete white disc.  Upward facing flowers are carried one per stem over shiny unlobed foliage.  Plants reach 25 inches in height.  Bloom is heavy and the striking reproductive structures contrast the white petals to create a magnificent show in masse.  An unusual plant and striking flower will not be confused with other cultivars.   No support required for this strong stemmed cultivar.   Foliage and plant habit is much like its seed parent ‘Tranquil Dove’.  Plants are a good candidate for the front of a garden.
