Wine Eyed Jill is a beloved little chameleon—perfectly rounded ball blooms that wash from cream and soft peach to blush and butter yellow, all wrapped around a rich wine-colored center. Each 2–3 inch flower looks hand-painted, and plants are famously early, tall, and wildly productive, sending up armloads of long stems all season.
Height: 3–5 feet (commonly around 4 feet, but can stretch taller)
Bloom size: 2–3 inches
Form: Ball / miniature formal decorative; tightly cupped, neatly rolled petals
Color: Cream, blush, peach, and yellow blends with a dark cranberry/wine eye; coloring shifts with temperature and time of season
Vigor: Exceptionally productive and often one of the earliest to bloom; keeps going to frost
Stem strength: Long, strong stems that are perfect for cutting and bouquet work
Special notes: Color variability is a feature, not a bug—no two blooms are identical, which adds beautiful movement and nuance in arrangements
Why you need this variety:
Wine Eyed Jill brings endless, painterly interest and unbelievable productivity in a tidy, usable size—exactly what designers and growers crave. If you want a small ball that earns its keep in every single bouquet, this one is non‑negotiable.
