Colleen Mooney is a unique deep purple large formal decorative bloom that does not fade. (but hard to capture in a photo!) It grows 4' tall here. Hybridized by John Mooney (Hamilton, Ontario). She sure makes a statement with that lovely form & deep jewel toned depth - a pleasure to grow and stunning in bouquets. A real deal show winner. 4-6" blooms

Harvesting/Vase Life:
Cut when blooms are ¾ of the way open. Check for firm and lush petals at the back versus papery or slightly dehydrated ones. Place into water with hydrator, or sear stem ends by placing into 160-180° water and allow to cool for 1 hour. Blooms will last 5-6 days.
