The petals alternate between bright orange tips and radiant pink bases, creating a two-toned effect that adds movement and texture to your garden. Each bloom is a work of art, with pointed petals radiating outwards in a starburst-like formation.

Standing at 100–120cm tall, this variety is supported by strong, upright stems, making it ideal for borders or as a standout feature in beds and containers.
