Suitability for freezing — Florist's Cineraria
Pericallis x hybrida (Scheidw.) B. Nord.
Florist's Cineraria (Pericallis x hybrida) is a strictly ornamental crop and is not intended for food processing. The plant is physiologically incompatible with freezing due to its high sensitivity to sub-zero temperatures.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Cineraria, where this is mentioned in the description.
Florist's Cineraria is classified as a potted or bedding ornamental plant, and therefore data on the technological suitability of the crop for freezing are absent. Agronomic practice does not consider the use of this species for food or industrial purposes that require cold conservation.
From a biological and physiological perspective, Pericallis x hybrida is extremely sensitive to the effects of sub-zero temperatures. Any exposure to freezing leads to irreversible damage to plant tissues, which precludes the possibility of using freezing methods for this crop.
