Resembling petite dahlias, the fully double blooms of Nora Barlow display layers of pointed petals in soft reddish-pink and white, creating a charming, almost old-fashioned look in late spring to early summer. Grey-green, fernlike foliage forms neat, compact mounds that stay attractive after flowering. This fast grower perennializes reliably, attracts pollinators and thrives in sun to part shade. Use it in borders, cottage gardens and woodland settings.
