Description
This variety was discovered in a patch of seedlings and was gifted to us a few years ago. It has quickly become a true favorite. The 5 inch semi cactus blooms are a warm peachy brown, reminiscent of butterscotch. Long, strong stems are perfect for arranging. Extremely productive plants reach 5 feet tall. A must grow!

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.
