Description
The buds are egg-yellow, and the reverse side of the petals is slightly lighter. Just-opened blooms exhibit a bright yellow hue, which matures into lemon and cream tones over time. The beauty of the flower is accentuated by its yellow stamens in the center. The flowers appear singly or in clusters of up to 7.
Rise ‘n’ Shine forms a dense, bushy plant with small, dark, glossy, and healthy foliage featuring narrow leaflets. It is easy to care for. The variety is vigorous and reblooms so rapidly that it seems to be in constant bloom without any breaks.
