Andy's Legacy
The wedding florist's smoky peach secret, straight from the garden.
Cut a stem of Andy's Legacy and the room asks what that color is. Apricot, coral, and salmon petals fold and ruffle together in a smoky blend, with lavender reversing on the undersides and a warm honey center pulling it all together. Named to honor a family member, it performs from summer heat through the first frosty nights, a sign of a variety built for people who actually rely on their garden.

How to Grow It
Plant in full sun and stake at planting time, as this variety grows into a tall, full plant that benefits from early support. Pinch when young to encourage more branching and a greater number of stems per plant. It is reliably productive across the whole season and handles both summer heat and cool autumn nights without losing quality. Dark stems are a characteristic of this variety and a sign of vigor.
