Why people hunt it
This is Gitts family breeding, registered to N. Gitts in 2012 and tied to the Swan Island catalog. It belongs to the light-blend lane Swan Island is known for: a white flower that refuses to be just white, tipped in lavender and lilac with a soft green glow at the heart. Brides find it on Pinterest, designers find it in recipe lists, and growers find it sold out, which is the usual order of operations. Multiple vendors were out of stock at last check. The spelling wobbles in the wild, and Redwood Alley lists it as Mikahla Miranda, so search both spellings when tuber hunting. For a flower this size, Redwood Alley's report of prolific blooms and tubers is the quiet selling point, since big decoratives often make you choose one or the other.
Growing notes, including the hard parts
An informal decorative in the B class, ADS code 2110, with 6 to 8 inch blooms. Farm height listings run anywhere from 36 to 60 inches, so site it where a taller outcome will not shade its neighbors and stake accordingly. Redwood Alley Farm reports it is abundant and prolific in both blooms and tubers, a rare double for a flower this size, which makes stock building quick once you own a clump. Vase life is not documented in our sourcing, so test before you promise stems to an event. Disbud for larger single blooms or let it branch for sprays. The white base with lavender tips reads formal without being stiff. It suits wedding growers, who treat the soft green center glow as a built-in design element.
