Grower’s Notes:
✔️Main stems are sturdy. Bush is compact and holds up well to the wind and weather.
✔️ Is an excellent cut flower and well-suited for exhibition
✔️ Tolerant of higher temperatures and humidity
✔️ Fair tuber producer—the twisted one area that our sweet Cafe Au Lait could stand to improve is tuber production. She is notoriously stingy when it comes to leaving lots of tuber gifts behind her when she goes. As with all varieties, tuber production increases with regular deadheading and disbudding.
