Grower’s Notes:
✔️ Plant is compact and holds up well to the winds that whip through our mountain meadows.
✔️ Tolerant of higher temperatures and humidity
✔️ Blooms enjoy a long vase life and is a favorite of floral designers.
✔️ Lateral buds are not prominent and don’t require regular disbudding like other varieties. Main stems are sturdy. Lateral branches respond quickly to pinching and multiply profusely.
✔️ Superb tuber producer—pumps the long stemmed blooms out consistently all season long. As with all varieties, tuber production increases with regular deadheading and disbudding.
