Overview
Completely unique, soft peachy-pink color - a standout in our trials. Single-stem/column-type stock for one-cut harvest. Sturdy, upright stems are comparable to the Iron series. Double-flowering plant selection: Plants are selectable for double-flowering blooms. Without selection your plants will produce approximately 55% double-flowering plants and 45% single-flowering plants. Double-flowering plants will display a lighter leaf color at the seedling stage after a cold treatment. You might notice that some seedlings will present the lighter color leaves, even without a prescribed cold treatment. NOTE: This variety produces one flowering stem per plant. Pinching is not advisable as it will terminate flowering. Edible Flowers: The peppery, clove-like flavor of the flowers lends itself well to use as a garnish on salads, desserts, and drinks.
