Premium Ice Crystal

Breeder:

Dummen

Summary:

Another great addition to the Premium series and is an important novelty. Ice Crystal has large rosy red bracts with pale pink to apricot centers spotted in red. The pattern appears to be quite uniform – growers who produced large numbers noted no or few reversions. The medium to low vigor plants are typical of the series, producing the classic ball of color. Branching was excellent and foliage dark green. Ice Crystal should be adaptable to most container sizes by adjusting the schedule and plant growth regular applications. Plants flowered mid-season. Growers who are not familiar with the Premium series should be aware of the low vigor and sensitivity to PGRs and avoid producing plants that are too short.
