The blooms in the Sea Shell Mix come in a delightful mix of colors, including pink, white, and deep crimson, each petal curled into a distinctive fluted shape reminiscent of tiny seashells. This unique form makes the flowers stand out, creating a captivating display in any garden bed, border, or bouquet.
