Good Qualities
Strong stem (4); Long stems (3); Nice flowers (2); Second-tallest variety in trial; Beautiful, single pure white flower; Extra sturdy stems, many buds, very vigorous, attractive bloom.
Problems
None (2); Singles never as popular; Shorter than other lisianthus, stem not as strong; The seed came late (February) and although I started it right away, the plants in the field never got to maturity, we had a very cold/late spring (up to 6 weeks lost) and this did not work in their favor, also, in the future I will only grow lisianthus in the hoop, western Washington is just too cool to attempt them in the field, wish I would have known! I worked so hard to get a crop and really wanted to see all of these beauties in full bloom, bummer!!!; Propagation difficult.

Comments
Single white flower with dark center, three days later than ‘Echo Champagne’, the earliest variety in trial; Not really worth growing for me; Vulcan series truly outstanding.
