None
Year 2
One trialers reported the postharvest life as 7 days; Cut in the green stage it is different from other PG’s – in the semi-hard stage, its color is similar to PG but the flower form is better – fuller and in the huge size has a conical head vs the “sheep’s head’ form of PG; I think when we learn best cutting stage/pruning routine, this will be a total winner – good return/area planted; A big hit with wedding florist.
