  • Overview

    The same overall performance of the standard Katz series varieties, but now selected to produce 90% double-flowering plants. Long stems with 1 1/2-2", pure white blooms. Early blooming one-cut series. Performed well in our spring, early summer, and fall trials. Good uniformity in bloom time and stem length. Seedling selection for double flowers is not necessary; plants will yield 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.
