The dark green thread-like foliage makes a great contrast with its tipped white flower bleeding into a dark raspberry center, blooming from June through October. ‘Sweet Dreams’ is extremely drought tolerant with a plant height of 18” and a spread of 18-24”. With cool autumn weather, the flowers make an even more outstanding color scheme. ‘Sweet Dreams’ should be planted in full sun. It is drought-tolerant and tough but does need well-drained soil.
