The sweetly fragrant flowers start out pure white and change to delicate pink as they mature. Flowers are earlier and last longer than other pink varieties. In the Lavender Capital of America, Sequim, Washington, there are spectacular displays of Melissa in arching rows interplanted with purple lavender. For cooking, the flowers have a prized mild and delicate flavour. Ht. 70cm/28in.
