Details: A true garden classic, 'Festiva Maxima' is a dependable, very showy variety that still deserves a place of honor in the landscape. Individual stems break from the soil surface in a tight knit group revealing dark green, clean, deeply cut foliage. As the stems reach mature height in May, a big, round bud forms at the top of each stem, opening in late May with big white double flowers with a scattering of red flecks. Flowers are extremely fragrant, filling the garden with their scent and making them an outstanding cut flower. Plant 'Festiva Maxima' in full sun or part shade in moist, well-drained soil and provide plant support to keep its big, fluffy flowers from toppling when open.
