Christmas Tradition
Breeder:
Selecta/BallSummary:
Christmas Tradition is a good name for this cultivar. It is a large, nice looking plant suited well for later markets with a finish time of about Dec. 1-10. Because of the naturally late finish, this cultivar may not be suited for cool finishing temperatures. Bracts are medium sized and bright red with colorful cyathia. The growth habit of this cultivar varied among the three trial locations. The plants are very vigorous and may require a considerable amount of PGRs. With use of support rings, this variety can be used in 6.5 to 10-inch pots.| Color | Vigor | Timing |
