Overview
"Hi-double" plants produce 90% or more double-flowering plants. From the same breeder as the Iron series, Early Arrow is very similar to Iron in overall performance with very straight, strong stems and highly uniform plants. Long stems with 1 1/2-2", pure white blooms. One-cut series. Performed well in our spring, early summer, and fall trials. Seedling selection for double flowers is not necessary; plants will yield at least 90% double blooms without selection. NOTE: This variety produces one flowering stem per plant. Pinching is not advisable as it will terminate flowering. Edible Flowers: The peppery, clove-like flavor of the flowers lends itself well to use as a garnish on salads, desserts, and drinks.
