It is also cultivated and has many flower colors, including white, lavender, rose, etc. The calyx tube is relatively swollen and long, with purple-red veins on it. The high snow wheel has a compound cyme inflorescence, the petals are obovate and light pink in color, and the calyx is tubular and rod-shaped with purple.
