Madonna offers better uniformity in height and habit over the competition.
Compact, first-year-flowering F1 shasta has a critical daylength of 14.5 hours, making it an attractive alternative to vegetative varieties that doesn’t require vernalisation and has no risk of bacterial infection.
Features excellent vigour and leaf quality for optimal finishing in quarts to large containers using multiple plugs.
It also offers a reduced percentage of “too small” plants compared to standard seed varieties.
With a larger percentage of saleable plants, Madonna requires less labour for harvesting and grading.
Up to 15% of petals may have laced-edge petals for a unique look.
