Karma Prospero

Karma Prospero opens with graceful, cupped petals and an airy silhouette; she has an easy elegance in both the garden and the vase. Rich purple, with broad, gently cupped petals arranged in a graceful waterlily form.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

Another favorite. She looks impossibly delicate and magical, like a waterlily fit for a princess, yet she handled rain surprisingly well. The stems were a little floppy for me, but she was still lovely in bouquet work.
