Every late-summer table wants a bowl of peachy-pink rounds that look effortless and feel generous. Linda's Baby delivers exactly that: a nearly perfect sphere of inrolled petals that shifts from bright coral in cool weather to soft apricot in summer heat, all on plants that push out blooms faster than you can cut them. Productive, pretty, and absolutely at home in any vase.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun after all danger of frost has passed, and pinch the growing tip early to encourage branching. Cut deeply into the plant each time you harvest. Going well down into the stem above a leaf node signals the plant to send up two new shoots in its place. Keep cutting consistently to keep your plant producing all season, and dig your tubers after the first frost for storage over winter.
