Description
One of the very best large orange varieties we’ve trialed, the 8-10 inch blooms look as if they are glowing on the plant. The soft tangerine petals mix well with almost every color and the long, strong stems make them an excellent cut flower. Especially well-suited to large scale flower arrangements and wedding work.

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.
