• F1 hybrid with uniform growth, standard blooms, and guaranteed quality
• Single-stem type—one large flower per plant with thick, sturdy stems

Cultivation Guidelines
• Sowing Time: Sow from spring to early summer, after the last frost date
• Sowing Method: Direct sow outdoors or start indoors and transplant later
• Light Requirements: Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Insufficient light may affect flower quality
• Soil Preference: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Mix in well-rotted compost or organic matter before sowing
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged—water when the topsoil feels dry. During bud formation, water needs increase; insufficient moisture may result in smaller plants and substandard blooms
• Fertilizing: This variety is particularly heavy-feeding. Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and ensure adequate nutrition throughout the growing season to achieve ideal height and flower form
• Temperature: Prefers warm climates; not frost-hardy—protect from cold temperatures and frost
• Support: In windy locations, stake plants to prevent stems from bending or breaking
• Harvesting: For cut flowers, harvest when petals begin to unfurl but are not fully open for the longest vase life. Harvest early in the morning and place stems in water immediately
