In 2019, Johnny's Breeding Team started selecting Aurora for its unique two-tone flowers with contrasting centres. Early flowering plants produce 4–6" wide dahlia-shaped double blooms. Hues of apricot, butter yellow, coral, gold, orange, and pink give this special mix a nuanced vintage look that sets it apart. May yield a small percentage of semi-double or single blooms and approximately 5% cactus-flowered blooms.
