Princess Nadine

Princess Nadine is one of those varieties where form is half the fun, and she adds texture without needing enormous size. Bloom size is still being tracked at Hedge & Alchemy. The collarette flowers are described as Collarette with open/collarette form, with a ring of outer ray florets with a contrasting collar around the open center.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

📖 From the journal of Hedge & Alchemy

A flower fit for a princess. Magical, enchanting, unusual in both color and form, with beautiful dark stems.
