Premium Polar

Breeder:
Dummen
Summary:
A great replacement for Premium White, this cultivar has much brighter white color. The bracts still have a bit of creamy white cast but have none of the pale apricot color in the young bracts that shows up in Premium White when the plants are grown cool. The appearance of Premium Polar is similar to the rest of the Premium series with large rounded bracts and low vigor. Plants flowered early mid-season with the rest of the Premium cultivars.
