Tapestry

Breeder:

Paul Ecke Ranch

Summary:

Finally, we have a stronger growing Holly Point. Tapestry has the gray green leaves edged in yellow and cherry red bracts of Holly Point, but with much more vigor. The large cyathia are noticeable among the flat bracts. It is still not as vigorous as the average red cultivar but is strong enough to be grown in 6 ½ inch pots with one or two extra weeks of long days before short days. Larger size containers would require multiple plants but still may not reach size. The bracts are orientated flat, the variegation pattern is stable and the breaking uniform. Holly Point had a significant problem with necrotic leaf margins. This problem is greatly reduced in Tapestry. Plants flowered mid-season.
