Trial: Annual
Year Trialed: 2004 Year of Trial: First (from 2004 report)
Good Qualities
Large flower; Nice, clean white, good stem strength.
Problems
Late to bloom - I still prefer 'Rocket' white; Spike a bit short; Some insect, common for us, especially into summer, showed up on the later harvested stems.
Comments
'Rocket White', but 'Snow White' was purer; Did not produce a strong second flush; We pinch our snaps to get multiple stems.
