大波斯菊 '迪亞布羅'

Planted these seeds a few weeks ago and they're already sprouting with that intense orange color I was hoping for. The stems are nice and sturdy too, so they should hold up well as cut flowers once they fully bloom.

The flowers are such a vivid, fiery orange that they almost seem to glow in the afternoon sun. I've been cutting them for vases indoors and they last over a week without wilting.

Planted these along the fence and the stems are sturdy enough that they haven't flopped over even after a windy week. Cut a few for a vase and the flowers held their color for days.
