The morning dew offers us a dazzling and unforgettable spectacle with its thousands of diamond pearls on the leaves and flowers. All transparent, but playing with a wide variety of colours (from pure white to yellow, pink, carmine pink, white edged with pink, etc.), its flowers are a permanent enchantment. Les jardins d'Eau invite you to discover a collection of 30 varieties.
