Avoca Amanda is an absolute showstopper—large, six-inch, petal-packed magenta blooms whose long, pointed petals end in delicate, laciniated tips. Broad petals edged in gold create a mesmerizing pink-and-gold ripple as each flower slowly unfurls. Watching one fully open is a small spectacle: the process takes several days, and just when you think it’s finished, it keeps going—Avoca Amanda would be a great variety for a time-lapse. In all, she’s completely stunning, even more so in person, and a wonderful addition to both the garden and the vase.
