Mira White

Breeder:
Syngenta
Summary:
The generally spreading growth habit, uniform appearance and timing of this cultivar match well with Mira Red, which was introduced last year. The large creamy white bracts are slightly upright to flat and have an oak-leaf shape. There are no green veins and transitions bracts were not obvious. The low to medium vigor plants flowered early mid-season. Branching was excellent but a bit uneven in development.
