From the same lineage as Ballerina, Linen offers refinements in bloom form, color, and overall uniformity. Like Ballerina, Linen produces a high percentage of double blooms, but its slightly smaller 4–5″ blooms are more consistently dahlia-shaped. The color range consists of warm, flaxen tones. Named ‘Linen’ for its clean, almost neutral color palette. Fresh-cut blooms are oatmeal in color with a pale pink or pale peach cast. As the blooms age, they display more pink and peach hues. Expect some variation in bloom form and color: a small percentage of cactus-shaped flowers and about 5% of plants will produce ivory blooms. Grows to 40” and likes full sun.
