A La Mode
The cut flower everyone in your bouquet crowd asks you to grow again.
Pull a stem from the garden and the candy-corn color story does the talking for you. Coral petals deepen at the base and sweep outward into white tips, each bloom painting itself a little differently from the last. Swan Island built this variety for production, and it delivers: reliable tubers, generous output, and stems that hold up in the bucket.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun after your last frost date. Pinch the center shoot when your plant reaches about knee height to push out more branching stems. Stake early before the plant leans on its neighbors. Your plant rewards consistent deadheading with a non-stop flush of blooms from early summer through frost.
