Comments
Editor note: See the Postharvest Report in this issue for vase life and handling information. Similar to ‘Panache’ and ‘Lemon Aura’; Semi-double; Sweet cultivars, later plants tended to branch more and be shorter overall; The secondary growth from 6-inch stumps was sporadic and that which did occur had short (5-6 inch), unmarketable stems; Started cutting 8/3 (Zone 5) and continued for the whole month – If I didn’t cut out the center bud, I got shorter side branches and not as many at all; Matured in 60 days, very small flowers on short thin stems, 2 2 inch diameter at best.
