Informal Decorative · 8–10"Orange

Broad copper petals curl open with an amber underside that catches late-afternoon sun and throws it back warmer. The color reads bronze in shade and sunset in full light, so a single stem reshuffles any bouquet it lands in. Cut-flower farms keep a row of it for autumn weddings that want heat without going red.

Growing Sierra Glow

Stake heavy and stake early, since tall canes topple under the oversized heads in midsummer wind. Pinch the central shoot at the fourth leaf pair to multiply side branches. Disbud hard when you want show-quality flowers, leaving one terminal per stem. Feed weekly once buds form to keep the coppery saturation from washing out.

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