SingleOrangePaul BloomquistUnited States

Bloomquist Aloha carries a row of narrow, rolled petals that spiral outward from a prominent open disc, creating a kinetic silhouette that reads differently from every angle. The warm orange coloring intensifies toward the center, and pollinators arrive as soon as the first buds crack. Tall, upright stems make this a reliable producer from late summer into autumn, and the open-centered form gives mixed arrangements an airy counterpoint to full-petaled companions. It comes from Paul Bloomquist in United States.

Growing Bloomquist Aloha

Stake at planting since stems climb to chest height by midsummer and catch wind. Pinch the central shoot above the third or fourth leaf pair to push branching and multiply your cutting stems. Cut when the outer petals are fully open and the disc is fresh; morning harvest extends holding time. Keep soil evenly moist through peak summer heat to maintain steady bud production.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
