Callistephus 'Serenade Rose'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 2000

Good Qualities

One plant results in one full bouquet; Dependable, reliable and attractive series, the easiest asters to grower with less Aster Yellows and lodging; Great color, many good flower clusters, mini vase flowers.

Problems

This color is not appreciated by my customers as much as other Serenades, if this was the only one we grow in series, customers would probably love them; Leaf miners.

Comments

All Serenades are excellent asters; Use one layer of support in the field to keep upright in open areas; Fast to bloom, 5 weeks, did not rebloom, 6 weeks plant life, vase life - 7 days.
