French Can Can is flamboyant and playful—a real showstopper with big, blousy blooms set ablaze in sunset tones. Its petals are a pastel tangerine, each one twisted to reveal a warm peachy-pink underside. This creates a color dance on every flower, so you see two shades at once, adding depth and motion that perfectly matches the variety’s lively name. Blooms typically reach 4–6 inches in diameter and are held on upright plants around 3.5 to 4 feet tall. As the season advances, colors become even more vivid, shifting to richer oranges and golden highlights. The informal decorative form brings a hint of whimsy and sophistication—always bringing energy to garden beds and bouquets!
