BeekenkampSummary:
With small creamy white bracts and dark green foliage, this white matches well the rest of the Saturnus series in flowering time, which is mid-season or slightly later. The creamy white to yellowish (under cool temperatures) short, broad bracts with 6-9 showy cyathia in a tight center were displayed flat above the foliage. General appearance of Saturnus White is similar to other cultivars in the series; however, it was more compact.| Color | Vigor | Timing |
