Arctic White

Breeder:
Dummen
Summary:
This cultivar has the brightest white bracts. The small to medium sized bracts are greenish when young and brighten to white as they age. The small bracts may be a problem for customers. Bracts are held upright and the leaves are light green. The low to moderately vigorous plants have an upright shape. Axillary shoot development was excellent. There was some variability in size among plants. This cultivar flowered quite late – one of the latest flowering cultivars in the trials this year, which may limit its market.
