Great Silence

Variety name: Great Silence

Hybridizer: Peter Komen (introduced in 2018)

Form: Informal decorative (small/BB size classification; some sources describe it with waterlily-like qualities)

Color: Two-tone rose-pink to coral-pink with a golden-yellow or orange-gold base/flush on each petal, often appearing peach from a distance; can show lavender hints in cooler weather or magenta tips in the center — a glowing, sunset-like blend that’s subtle afar but vibrant up close

Size of Bloom: 4–5 inches (occasionally up to 6 inches)

Height: 3–5 feet (most commonly 4 feet, on sturdy dark stems)

Cut Flower: Excellent — strong, tall stems with long vase life; prolific producer ideal for bouquets and arrangements (lasts well in vase, gradually turning more yellow as it ages)

Tuber producer: Good (prolific and effortless bloomer overall)

Growers Notes: This is a highly praised, crowd-pleasing variety known for its unique luminous color that pairs beautifully with warm tones (orange, burgundy) or cools (purple). It’s reliable, trouble-free, and early-to-average blooming on bushy plants. Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil; pinch for bushiness and deadhead for continuous blooms. A standout for gardens, containers, and cutting — often compared to a vivid summer sunset.
