Tempest

Tempest brings a quiet kind of beauty, and she is easy to weave through both pastel and more complex color palettes. 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

Another one I didn’t expect to love. The color reads like scarlet-orange and fades into a beautiful ombré as the bloom ages. Gorgeous, with long stems.
