Golden Scepter

Golden Scepter has been the designer's pocket-sized yellow for nearly a century, on record since 1926. In a world chasing the newest blush dinnerplate, a tiny golden globe that has earned its place across generations is its own statement. Goldenrod Gardens flat out calls it the go-to small yellow for all floral designers. It sits in Triple Wren's golden market group alongside Hamari Gold and Crichton Honey, though it is the smallest of the three by far, a pompon next to a dinnerplate. The hybridizer is lost to our sources, which is common for a variety this old.

Golden Scepter is a small golden pompon, prized by floral designers as the reliable little yellow accent. Pompon and small ball forms are the workhorses of the cutting world: tight, long-lasting blooms that pump out by the armful once the plant gets going. Goldenrod Gardens calls it the go-to small yellow for all floral designers. It is an old variety, on record from 1926, which is part of its charm and its reliability. Standard care, and expect a generous harvest of small, precise blooms. The exact form between flattened ball and pompon is described both ways; we follow the small pompon classification.
