Waterlily · 3–4"PinkErnest Turc (2009)France

Blush pink opens across the garden, each bloom warming to gold at its center. Slender stems fork into clusters that read like cherry blossom, so one cut carries several flowers at once. Ernest Turc's French introduction keeps earning its place as a return-to favorite for gardeners and florists. It was bred in France by Ernest Turc in 2009.

Growing Ankara

Give it steady moisture and a sunny bed, and you will be rewarded with prolific branching stems. Leave the side buds in place rather than disbudding, since the multi-flower sprays are the whole charm here. Stake early in exposed spots to keep the tall growth upright, and cut often to push fresh flushes.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
