The flowers are 4–5 inches across with a high percentage of fully double, dahlia-shaped blooms.

As blooms age, they deepen into richer pink and peach hues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eA small percentage of cactus-shaped flowers may appear, and approximately 5% of plants will produce ivory-white blooms, adding natural variation to your bouquets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eSturdy stems reach 30–40 inches tall, making this an outstanding choice for cut-flower production, borders, and mass plantings.
