Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the Galaxy group and is intended for cultivation in pot culture or for cut flowers. The flowers, 15–18 cm in diameter, are white with pink-red speckles that thicken towards the petal edges, and have a distinct red margin; the flower throat is lemon-lime. The inflorescence usually consists of 2–5 flowers.

The height of the flower stalk is from 45 to 60 cm. Large bulbs are capable of producing two to three flower scapes. Flowering occurs 6–10 weeks after planting; for winter forcing, the flowering period falls between December and March.
