Single · 3–3.5"Orange1993Netherlands

Warm orange petals flare outward with buttery yellow tips and a deep bronze-red halo around the golden disc. Dark chocolate-bronze foliage provides dramatic contrast, making each bloom glow like a small sunset against the canopy. A compact border performer and reliable pollinator magnet across the season. It is a 1993 Netherlands introduction.

Growing Moonfire

Plant in full sun after frost for the richest foliage coloring and strongest petal contrast. Space compact growth closely for a bedding drift, or use as a front-of-border accent. Deadhead spent flowers to extend flowering into autumn, and lift tubers once foliage blackens.

Spacing: Space about 18–24 in apart
Staking: Compact enough that most growers skip staking
