Monet Early
Breeder:
Paul Ecke RanchSummary:
As one of the most important novelties for many years, it is great to see an updated version of Monet that is earlier, more compact and sturdier. The bracts retain their classic appearance with peach colored bracts liberally spotted with pink that coalesces into a pink margin. The compact plants flowered mid-season with dark green foliage. This compact cultivar would be best grown in small pots up to 6 ½-in. pots, for the latter provide one to two more weeks of long days. Note that this variety is not a selection from Monet Twilight and is similar only in bract appearance. Plants flowered early season.| Color | Vigor | Timing |
