Cinnamon Star

Breeder:

Syngenta

Summary:

This new cultivar presented a unique and different color. The bright orange/peach colored bracts were flecked with pink, especially at the edges. Bracts had a variable amount of pink on them. From a distance this plant appears golden – a ‘designer’ color to compliment the reds and burgundies. As with Da Vinci, Cinnamon Star has upright bracts, dark green leaves, early flowering and low to medium vigor. An extra week or two of long days after the pinch would be needed for 6.5 inch pots. The cultivar should perform well in a wide array of pot sizes. Shoot development was uniform within the plant but branching was variable on the trial plants.
