Product description

Holding significant historical importance as a namesake of Charles Darwin's granddaughter, this highly ornamental, vintage variety produces deeply complex, spurless double blooms packed entirely with tight, quilled layers of pink, red, and pale green-tipped petals. The incredibly intricate details and distinct structural architecture of the flowers demand to be viewed from up close. It offers a sophisticated, deeply textured charm that looks phenomenal in specialised floral arrangements.

To encourage robust, highly resilient initial root development, incorporate a small handful of slow-release bone meal deep into the base of the hole during the initial planting process. Because the subtle, intricate green tips on the petals can easily get lost in the visual noise of a crowded border, you must position this specific variety at the very front of the bed so the details can be appreciated without stooping. Deadhead the spent blooms immediately to maintain the purity of this specific, highly prized strain.
