Skipley Spot of Gold

Skipley Spot of Gold has the kind of warmth that seems to change with the light, and she gives bouquets an easy, sunlit focal point. Golden/pink, with neatly arranged, fully double petals and a polished geometric profile.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

📖 From the journal of Hedge & Alchemy

Wow, just wow. She is amazing in person. The gold-tipped petals are beautiful, and the coloring seems to shift with temperature and from bloom to bloom. Pure magic.
