No. 19,929. The outermost involucral bracts of the bud appear as R.H.S. 64 B (red-purple group). The rest of the bracts have an overall appearance of R.H.S. 58 A (red-purple group). The tips of the outer bracts are R.H.S. 187 A (greyed-purple group). The new variety also possesses the commercially desirable characteristics of hardy and attractive leaves and has generally good post harvest characteristics. |
