Features broad petals that are neatly and symmetrically arranged. ADS Classification: 3009. Bloom Size: Small (BB). Blooms typically range from 4 to 6 inches (10–15 cm) in diameter. Height: Medium. A strong, upright grower that reaches between 3 to 4 feet (90–120 cm) tall. Performance: Prolific Cut Flower.
