Early-midseason blooming SEMI-DOUBLE flowers are a candy cane pink that fade to light pink with white petal edges. Flowers are 17cm (6.3”) in diameter, upward facing, and average one per stem. Guard petals are cupped, ruffled, and frilled. No fragrance noted. Flowers possess on average three very hairy, green carpels with pink stigmas of normal anatomy. Stamens are between 1.25-2cm (0.5-0.75”) in length. Fertile both ways. Plants reach 70cm (27.6”) at maturity, and carry broad-pointed, green foliage with undertones of purple. Foliage at time of emergence is red. Growth habit is upright; mechanical support is unnecessary. Presents good potential for cut-flower production, and is a fine garden subject.
