Ball · 3.9–5"Light Blendvan der Linden (2020)Netherlands

Bring one stem inside and the whole arrangement changes. Petals unfurl in layered rounds of warm apricot, cream, and soft papaya, shifting slightly depending on the light and the week of the season. A Dutch sport of Sweet Fabienne, it inherited the same tight, perfectly round globe but arrived in its own sun-warmed palette that florists reach for whenever they want something both polished and alive. It was bred in Netherlands by van der Linden in 2020.

Growing Sweet Suzanne

Plant in full sun and give your plant something to lean on early. Pinch after several sets of leaves develop to multiply your stems. Disbud to one blossom per stem when you want the fullest, most rounded blooms for show or for the vase. Your plant performs through midsummer right into the first hard freeze, so keep harvesting to keep it producing.
