Hollyhill Daydream

Hollyhill Daydream carries the elegant openness of a waterlily form, and she brings a lovely sense of space between fuller flowers. Peach-pink blend, with broad, gently cupped petals arranged in a graceful waterlily form.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

📖 From the journal of Hedge & Alchemy

One of my absolute favorites! She ranges from gorgeous sunset colors of hot pinks in hot weather to pink-oranges when it’s cooler, with a yellow center that fades. So many flowers and branches on a tall plant that doesn’t need much staking. Beautiful in any arrangement, good vase life. Stems were short for me, so you definitely need to disbud (remove the side buds) and cut long stems. An absolute workhorse.
