Waterlily · 4–6"PinkTed & Margaret Kennedy (2013)United States

In a summer bed or bouquet, these blooms draw attention with layered petals that shift from rosy pink at the edges through deeper crimson-touched tones at the center. Bred from the Lynn Dudley award-winning Hollyhill Tigress, Pink Tigress carries its parent's robust stems and show-worthy symmetry translated into a softer, distinctly pink palette. Few cut-garden choices match it for making a bold yet feminine statement without relying on solid color alone. It was bred in United States by Ted & Margaret Kennedy in 2013.

Growing Hollyhill Pink Tigress

Stake early, as these plants reach five feet and carry bloom weight that bends unsupported stems. Pinch the main shoot at four leaf pairs to encourage branching and a longer harvest window. Water deeply at the base once or twice weekly, letting the soil approach dryness between sessions to keep tubers healthy. Cut stems in the morning and condition them in cool water before arranging.

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