Sea Foam bears clusters of 2" - 3" creamy white, double flowers throughout the growing season. It is an extremely rugged plant with dark green foliage with a glossy sheen. In fall it produces beautiful orange-red hips.

 

Used in mass, Sea Foam can provide a spectacular display of color which contrasts nicely against its dark green foliage. It can be used on steep embankments, hillsides and other challenging landscape areas. Sea Foam can also be trained as a climber or weeping standard. Both of these forms can be very dramatic in the landscape.

 

The Earth Kind designation also ensures that Sea Foam is extremely resource efficient with outstanding landscape performance characteristics.
