Morning Sun

Morning Sun carries the warm end of the season beautifully, and she brings the colors of sun, fruit, and autumn light into the patch. Bloom size is still being tracked at Hedge & Alchemy. The straight cactus bloom shows clear to golden yellow with rolled, pointed petals that give the flower a crisp, spiky silhouette.

🌱 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.
