Colchester White Miller is a tender evergreen herbaceous perennial that forms a uniform mound of large, velvety silvery-white filigreed foliage. The pink flowers bloom beginning in the second year in the South, but are usually removed to encourage foliage growth. Flowers best in full sun and evenly moist, well-drained soils. Colchester White has drought tolerance, as well as improved heat and humidity tolerance.
