This Scheepers tetraploid is varying shades of enchanting rose-pink with apricot-pink petal edges, a yellow base and a rather orange interior with white stripes. Depending on the light, the day and its whim, Menton exhibits varying levels of iridescent pinkness flushed apricot-salmon. It's terrific paired with another late-bloomer, sibling
Maureen.
If you love Menton, you may also adore its semi-double offspring,
