Hybrid seedling plant in a 100mm pot.
Near flowering size.
The full-shaped orange flowers of Carolina Orange D’or (Blc. Carolina Golden D'Or x Blc. Malworth D'Or) are magnificent, while the 6-8 blooms per stem make this a spectacular show plant. I have admired this plant for years, and we have used it to make many orange and yellow hybrids. Combining this parent with Love Passion (Lc. Trick or Treat x Slc. William Farrell) which produces 7-9 true orange flowers on a strong stem will give excellent orange flowers! There will be 6-8 flowers well-held on strong stems, the plants will be robust and hardy growers. Who doesn’t love huge heads of orange flowers?
