Description: This cultivar is a visual riot with its novel candy striped blooms. Striping is most prominent on the double flowers on the outermost petals, and most time absent on central ones. Flowers are presented far above the foliage, which causes flowers to lean. As a result, this is best grown with support. Candy Stripe is usually one of my latest blooming cultivars, which helps extend the bloom season on the tail end. One of the better variegated flowers when considering the bloom alone.
