Antirrhinum 'Opus Fresh White'

Good Qualities

Very strong stems (4); Great bright white color (3); No breaking, almost no shattering; Amazing plants! some were 48 inches, grew in field with drip tape and 1 row netting, I am still harvesting and some of the 2nd flush stems also exceed 40 inches; Contrasts well with colors, stems were straighter with each cut; Nice long primary spike (6-10 inches) with shorter secondary, earliest of all snaps to flower; Good rebloom with side dressing of fertilizer; The head size was excellent–larger than other Monaco series planted at the same time and larger than ‘Opus Bright Red’, this is one I definitely would like to look at again, much superior to ‘Monaco White’ in stem strength and head size; Tall straight stems, blooms excellent, smells great!

Problems

None (3); Some awkward bending of stems just below flowers, didn’t always respond to cooling so some stayed bent during their entire post harvest life.

Similar Cultivars

‘Potomac White’, but these are taller; ‘Calima White’; ‘Opus White’.

Comments

Would like to see more colors; Thickness of stems decreased with each cut, but length was relatively constant; Stem length disappointing, maybe I planted too late, seeds were started on March 21; This entire planting was put in late and not cared for due to a total lack of labor, it was watered, it was subjected to heat stress right after transplanting and developed flowers while quite small, initially, but kept on growing.

Postharvest

Used Floralife for hard water; Remove all foliage; We cut into water with Chrysal 2.
