Description
*Limit one per customer.* We scoured North America for 2 years trying to find tubers for this elusive blush gem. Over 100 calls, emails and dead-end searches later we finally gave up hope on ever finding them. Then one day, out of the blue, a box of 20 perfect tubers arrived in the mailbox with no return address label. We still have no idea who shared their treasures with us, but feel incredible lucky that they did. The perfect color match for ‘Café au Lait’, ‘Appleblossom’ and ‘Bracken Rose’, this hard to find variety is worth her weight in gold.
Harvesting/Vase Life
Cut when blooms are three-quarters of the way open, but not overly ripe. To do this, check the back of each flower head, looking for firm and lush petals versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180* water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.
