Overview
Tightly spaced florets on thick, strong, straight stems. Single-stem/column-type stock for one-cut harvest. Vintage Brown is not brown but rose-taupe in color. This variety (updated in 2023) is the newest version of Vintage Brown and has a slightly warmer color palette and a touch of light gold at the flower center, as opposed to the original Vintage Brown, which was fully rose in color.Produces about 55% double-flowering plants. Overall, very similar to the Iron series in performance. 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.
