Bali carries semi-double white flowers with a deep purple-red eye through much of summer. This inventory form is trained as a small tree, lifting its flowering crown above surrounding planting. Medium to dark green leaves provide a quiet backdrop to the blooms, making it a useful seasonal focal point in a sunny garden.
