The latest pinwheel flowered form from the REALFLOR ® breeding stable. This selection is a total flower machine. Healthy vigorous plants, covered from early season with large pinwheel flowers in bright orange tones. The strong orange colors do not fade out like other cultivars. The increased plant vigor results in larger plants with more flower quicker. Fanfare Serenade is unbelievably well-branched, keeping a tidy shape throughout the summer without splitting apart. Excellent for bringing pollinator insects to the garden. Great for the picking garden. All making Fanfare Serenade our newest true perennial favorite.
To make the chamomile syrup, boil equal parts of water and sugar until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and steep chamomile flowers for 15 minutes. Cool before using. Add the rum, lemon juice, syrup and lavender bitters to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously. Add to a rocks glass and top with sparkling brut.
