Ball · 3–3.5"OrangeDavid Jack (2017)Canada

Ferncliff Rusty was bred in Canada by David Jack in 2017. Ferncliff Rusty fills a garden bed or cutting patch with warm, rust-toned balls from midsummer through frost. Its deep coral-orange color shifts across the season, drawing in earthy bronzes and rosy undertones that make it stand apart from brighter oranges. It also holds its form on the show bench.

Growing Ferncliff Rusty

Pinch at four to five leaf nodes to maximize branching and extend the flush of blooms. Keep soil evenly moist and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form. Stake at planting time to support stems against wind, and cut stems in early morning for the longest-lasting results.

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