Every season starts the same: Rebecca Lynn opens while everything else is still waking up, and she keeps producing long after you expect her to stop. Compact and unfussy, she pumps out armloads of tight, rounded, deep-rose blooms that hold their color without fading in heat. Grown by Les Connell in Washington State in 1987, she has become the go-to miniature for farmers and home growers who want quantity and quality on the same plant.

How to Grow It
Plant in full sun and pinch when your plant is established to encourage branching. Stake at planting to protect against wind. Harvest when blooms are about three-quarters open, cutting deeply into the plant to encourage long stems on subsequent flushes. This variety holds well in heat. Expect blooms earlier in the season than most of your other varieties.
