Rose pink buds open with pink-edged petals. A dark garnet red flare dominates the upper lobes while the lower ones have soft yellow centers. As the flower ages it eventually becomes a creamy pink. A full rainbow of color.

Pink-edged flowers with a huge red flare.

By: Thompson's Nursery

An unusual hybrid. Rose pink buds open to flowers with pink-edged petals. A huge dark garnet red flare graces the upper petals, and the lower petals have a soft yellow center. Little by little, the whole flower becomes a creamy pink, causing the dark textured flare to stand out even more. Many large 5" individual flowers make large trusses. The foliage is a matte fir green. An interesting cross between a yellow and a purple.
