Summary:

Christmas Glamour is a dark leaf plant that has a unique watermelon pink bract color, which is the cultivar’s main attribute. The general appearance of the plant form and the bract size and appearance are reminiscent of a Freedom. The plants are high vigor and finish mid-season. Plants have a wide vase-shaped habit with medium stem strength. Centers were small with only a few cyathia. Bract edge burn/Botrytis occurred at all three sites. While distinctive, it is important for retailers to know how the cultivar will be positioned in the market; it can appear to be either a light red or a dark pink. Christmas Glamour will likely be best suited for use as a novelty in warm climates.
