Cockscomb sharon cultivation report

A rustic and lovely summer with white candles swaying in the wind for you.

Hello. I’m Riko, the cockscomb fairy. Sharon, Sharon! Cool name, right? The cockscomb family has flowers of various shapes and colors, but this cockscomb is rather rustic and simple. It’s a cute flower. The flowers start out as pale pink, turning to pure white as the weather warms up. The flowers are as simple as candles. The appearance of many candle-shaped flowers fluttering in the wind is soothing. Let’s begin!
