Drop a few stems of Little Robert into a mixed bouquet and watch them become the thing people point at. The tight, perfectly round blooms open white at the center and deepen to vivid rose-magenta at the petal tips, giving each flower a hand-painted look that photographs absurdly well. Introduced out of the Netherlands in 1964 and still in steady rotation with flower farmers who know what actually sells at the market.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun once the soil has warmed. Pinch early to encourage branching and a bigger harvest later in the season. Your plant responds well to regular deadheading. The more you cut, the more it produces. Provide support as stems lengthen. In hotter climates, mulch around the base to keep roots cool and moisture consistent through summer.
