Picture a late-summer market table stopped in its tracks by blooms that glow from deep apricot at the base to a pale, frosted white at the petal tips. That fade is what keeps Hollyhill Orange Ice in heavy rotation for florists who need both drama and softness in the same stem. If you cut for color that refuses to fade into the background, this is your variety.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun after your last frost date. Pinch the central growing tip early in the season. This one rewards the pinch with a serious flush of lateral stems. Expect blooms from midsummer right through first frost. Cut stems early in the morning or late evening and condition them in cool water. Deadhead regularly and you will keep the plant focused on new buds all season long.
