Know before you buy
This is a true dwarf variety, reaching a mature height and width of approximately 12 inches. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for small containers, rock gardens, or tight border spaces.
Yes, the Double Diamond is an evergreen perennial. You can expect it to maintain its lush foliage year-round, provided it is grown within its recommended hardiness zones.
It performs best in full sun to partial sun. For the most prolific blooming, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Because this specific cultivar rarely sets seed pods, it does not divert energy into seed production. This allows the plant to focus its resources on maintaining its double white flowers for a significantly longer duration.
The Double Diamond is rated for hardiness zone 8. If you live in a colder climate, you can still enjoy this plant by keeping it in a container and moving it to a protected area or indoors during the winter months.
It requires moderate watering. While you should water regularly during the initial establishment phase, once settled, it prefers well-drained soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry.
