Eye-catching ombré blooms.
These 13 cm, pristinely formed flowers feature golden-yellow middles that melt into salmon-orange outer petals. Over time, more and more of the bloom is saturated in gorgeous salmon-orange, with warm yellow remaining right at the centre. The plant itself is amazing—growing straight and strong, reaching up to 150 cm tall.
