Betty Anne

Betty Anne is made for anyone who loves variation, and she brings stripes, blends, or edging that keep the flowers from looking uniform. Pink blend, with small, densely rolled petals arranged into a precise sphere.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

📖 From the journal of Hedge & Alchemy

So tiny and petite! I’m growing her in honor of my grandma Bette, who would have loved her. Grandma loved to garden and her favorite color was purple. The bloom is tiny and delicate, just like her handwriting.
