Overture Dark Red

Breeder:
Dummen
Summary:
This is another variety with large rounded bracts similar to Premium Red, but bract color is probably a little brighter. Centers of the bracts are tight, the smaller bracts tended to become tucked under the older bracts and did not expand neatly, which produced a slightly unkempt look in more mature plants. Branching was very good, but plant shape was a bit uneven. Leaves were dark green and the compact plants flowered early to mid-season.
