Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant belongs to the Bombay series, specialized for commercial cut flower production. Stems are upright, non-branching, round in shape, reaching a height of 60 to 100 cm depending on cultivation conditions. Inflorescences are massive, crested with convolutions, and colored in a deep purple-burgundy.

The variety is early-maturing and possesses improved resistance to stress conditions and good transportability. When grown, it requires irrigation control due to susceptibility to blackleg disease under excess moisture, and is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations during the seedling stage. The absence of lateral shoots allows for the use of high-density planting schemes.
