Grown in the Netherlands since 1996, Jive opens deep scarlet outer petals around a dense raised center of warm orange and lighter red. The contrast deepens as each stem matures, keeping blooms visually interesting from bud through full open. Growers prize it for consistent production, strong upright stems, and the fact that it photographs bright against any background.

How to Grow It
Plant tubers in full sun after the last frost in well-drained soil. Pinch the central stem when the plant has several sets of leaves to encourage branching and more blooms. Stake early, as the vigorous stems can catch wind. Harvest blooms regularly to keep the plant producing through the season.
