Luan

Luan has a distinctly painterly streak, and she brings the sort of patterning that photographs never quite capture the same way twice. Contrasting bicolor petals with tightly rolled petals forming a rounded, substantial bloom.

🌱 2027 Grow-Out: This variety will arrive at Hedge & Alchemy in Spring 2027 and will be grown here for the first time that season. It will not be offered in our 2027 tuber sale.
