Golden yellow orbs of tightly-packed petals bloom freely in summer, requiring only a sunny spot to flourish. This modern variety is pollen-free, ideal for cut flowers.
Wonderful POLLENLESS, “Teddy Bear”-type with very double golden-yellow flowers on a 4’ multibranching plant. Long petals circling the center create a wonderful “shining sun” for the garden. To 8-9” across, blooms in late Summer-Fall. A wonderful cut flower too!
