For years I’ve had an ongoing obsession with the lovely Yuukyu for more reasons than I can count. For starters, this elegant beauty is an early bloomer and is a prolific provider of her ivory blooms. Yuukyu is a superb cut flower and with a long vase life, is a favorite of floral designers for special event use.

Grower’s Notes:
✔️ Extremely productive.
✔️ As with other white varieties, Yuukyu’s blooms can be easily damaged with insect activity as well as during transport. We utilize blossom bags to protect the petals from getting munched on or bruised before reaching their final destination.
✔️ Tolerant of higher temperatures and humidity
✔️ Excellent tuber producer. As with all varieties, tuber production increases with regular deadheading and disbudding.
