Informal Decorative · 4–6"Pink

Petals open orchid-pink at the edges and fade to a creamy white heart flecked with tiny cranberry freckles. The ombre shifts with the weather, so no two harvests from the same row look quite alike. Flower farmers grow it for bouquet work where a romantic, painterly blush sells itself.

Growing Pink Petticoat

Stake early and deep, because tall stems will lean once the heads fill out. Pinch the central shoot once plants reach a comfortable elbow height to force side branching. Watch the color shift on cool mornings, the blush runs deeper then. Keep soil evenly moist during bud set, since heat stress can flatten the ombre to near-white. Cut stems at three-quarter open for the longest hold.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
