Blondee produces large, softly formed blooms in buttery yellow and creamy white. One plant can throw flowers in several different colour combinations, with some opening almost entirely yellow, others nearly white, and plenty showing a beautiful blend of both. Its broad, loosely arranged petals give the blooms a relaxed, slightly ruffled shape, while the colouring often changes again as each flower matures.

- Prepare the ground a few weeks before planting by digging over the soil thoroughly and adding a little well rotted compost and an application of general fertiliser.
