That color stops people mid-reach. A near-black burgundy so saturated it photographs dark and reads even richer in person, with petals that layer into a tight, perfect globe. Manoa is the variety florists quietly reorder before the season even starts.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers once the soil has warmed and all frost risk has passed. Manoa grows tall and upright and benefits from staking early. Pinch the central shoot after several sets of leaves appear to encourage a bushier plant and more stems. Your plant is a reliable mid-season producer, sending up dark-stemmed, deeply colored blooms on long, strong stems. Its dramatic near-black foliage is as striking as the flowers, making it a standout even before the first bud opens. Deadhead regularly to keep your plant producing through the season.
