As a classic 'Spencer' type, it produces massive, deeply ruffled blooms on exceptionally long, strong stems. The petals are pristine white, looking like gathered silk, and they hold their shape beautifully in a vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety is a favourite of exhibitors and florists alike. Unlike some whites which can look translucent or papery, 'Swan Lake' has a solid, creamy density to the petals.
