American Dawn - AD

Few flowers beat American Dawn for sunset colors.  Coral pinks, blending to hazy orange, with a touch of mauve purple.  Pristine formal decorative form with perfect head placement on the stem for excellent arrangement work.  A bit shaky on the quantity of blooms and stem length.  (for improvement on both those fronts, see Dutch Pearl)  Compact plant makes excellent garden specimen.  3.5-4 inch flower on 3-4 foot plant.
