Florelie Antique

Florelie Antique has a softly painted quality, and she brings romance to the garden without becoming overly sweet. Pink with neatly arranged, fully double petals and a polished geometric profile.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

📖 From the journal of Hedge & Alchemy

Perfection! Mine was huge and so perfect she almost didn’t look real. A tall, robust plant and an absolute showstopper.
