Comments
Can’t wait to try this again because of great results on our other Clear Springs cultivars; Ten day cold period resulted in good germination. Next year expect longer stems and more stems; Always a good market for clear white line material; Similar to ‘Magic Fountain’; My customers prefer the ‘Pacific Giants’, as they are taller and not as compact. I found these hard to work into bouquets, as they were short and fat.
