A truly cheerful variety from Chinese breeder Tian Lang, Chirp (Que Jiu) brings a sunny disposition to any garden or vase. Its charming blooms open into classic, cabbage-like cups of a bright, buttery yellow. In the cool air of early spring, the golden petals are kissed with a delicate pink blush that fades as the flower opens, adding a touch of seasonal intrigue. The blooms become even fuller and more showy in the summer heat. Carrying a light, sweet honey fragrance, this prolific and heat-resistant shrub produces an abundance of flowers. With thick petals and a reliable 7-day vase life, Chirp is an excellent choice for both everyday garden enjoyment and beautiful cut flower arrangements.
