Sunday Gloves has near-white, 5¼-inch blossoms with loosely ruffled petals, a pale yellow eye and a tiny celery green throat. The flowers are highly fragrant and look especially lovely in the evening garden.
It is very easy to grow, with fine foliage, and reblooms through the summer from early July.
What it looks like
Flowers about 5¼ inches across with loosely ruffled tepals in near-white, a pale yellow eye and a tiny celery green throat. Each bloom lasts a day, but many buds open in turn on branched scapes rising to about 27 inches above a fountain of long, arching, strap-shaped medium green leaves. The foliage clump is about 16 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak bloom soft white flowers glow above the leaves.
Growing it with lavender
Its near-white flowers brighten a lavender bed and shine at dusk, in the same full sun and well-drained soil.
Care
Grow in full sun to light part shade (at least six hours of sun for the best bloom) in average, well-drained soil; once established it handles heat, clay and dry spells. Hardy in zones 3 to 9. Remove spent scapes promptly to encourage a later round of flowers, and divide crowded clumps every few years.
