Great postharvest life (2), striking flowers, strong stems, long flowering period, good for mixed bouquets but consumers didn't buy it by itself -- wholesalers liked single species, dried nicely, great fragrance, nice color.Problems
Individual blooms turned brown before the flower cluster was fully developed, no problems, poor germination, smelled, looked like a weed but seemed to sell well.Trial Data
