Encore

Breeder:
Dummen
Summary:
Encore had bright red bracts with dark red young bracts. The long, pointed bracts were held flat to slightly upright, allowing for easy sleeving. In warm climates bract edges may roll under slightly. Centers contained a large number of small cyathia. Branch strength was good and plant habit was slightly spreading. The medium vigor plants flowered mid-season. Plants should work will in most container sizes.
