    HVH: "Another of the HVH Fascinating Foliage varieties, 'Carrot Top' blooms with bright, true orange, ruffly 7-9" single flowers with a red eye and gold and white rays. The unusual foliage comes from mother 'Crème de Cacao.' Father 'Cosmic Gold' contributed the large size and vivid color of the flower. Released from HVH in 2011."
