Ace Summer Sunset
The stem everyone at the farmers market asks about.
It burns across a bucket like a low August sun, pulling every eye in the room before you reach the register. The petals shift from deep coral orange at the tips through gold toward the center, a color change you cannot fake with dye. Florists who grow it sell out first.

How to Grow It
Give your plant a tall stake early. The stems are sturdy but the blooms are heavy, and a well-supported plant holds its heads up without flopping. Pinch above the third set of leaves once the plant is established to push side shoots and extend your cutting season through summer and into fall. It performs best in full sun with consistent moisture.
