Grower’s Notes:
✔️Tolerant of higher temperatures and humidity
✔️Main medial stems are sturdy. Lateral branches respond quickly to pinching and multiply profusely. Bush is compact and holds up well to the winds that whip through our mountain meadows.
✔️Blooms enjoy a long vase life and is a favorite of floral designers.
✔️ Excellent tuber producer—this plant is like a reliable friend, always there when you need them. And in this case, Kelvin Floodlight always provides much more than is expected! As with all varieties, tuber production increases with regular deadheading and disbudding.
