  • Overview

    Bloom size ranges from 1 1/2-4" wide. Uniform, upright plants and stems. Shimmering, fan-shaped combs are peach-colored with hints of pink and gold. Upright, clean stems are easy to harvest. Branching plants produce multiple stems. Compared to the Chief series, combs are slightly smaller. Otherwise, overall performance is very comparable. Unauthorized reproduction and sale of seeds is prohibited by the breeder.
