Classic White

Breeder:
Paul Ecke Ranch
Summary:
Classic White is well matched in overall appearance to Classic Red with large creamy white to slightly yellowish bracts. The foliage is dark green and the bracts are held flat to slightly upright. The cultivar was one of the darkest whites in the trial this year. At NCSU we finished plants cool, which probably accentuated the yellow cast. Regardless, this plant would be best used as a companion cultivar to Classic Red. Plants are moderately vigorous and mid-season.
