Soft salmon petals warm the room the moment they open, shifting to a pale cream blush at each tip as the bloom matures. This 1955 Dutch heirloom from Bruidegom has endured for seven decades because nothing else copies its color exactly. Collectors grow it for the rarity; flower farmers grow it for the armloads of stems it throws from July straight through frost.

How to Grow It
Plant your tubers in full sun once the soil has warmed. Pinch the central shoot early to push branching and maximize stem count. Your plant grows tall and benefits from staking before midsummer, especially in exposed spots. Deadhead consistently to keep production high through the season.
