    Mine was a gift.  I am pleased to report that when stressed by drought and heat it's flowers are 99.9% plain white.  OK by me.

    White: I'd be happy with. Red: I'd be happy with. But not both.

    I remember there used to be a superstition about mixing red and white flowers in a vase ... they were said to signify blood and bandages 😉

    Add me to the list of those who dislike this red & white combo on the same plant. Much too "showy" for my taste. :(

    A friend of Hubby  very proudly gave him one of her cuttings. I gave it away to the first person who said they liked it.
