Polaris, Stratos, JesterCineraria
Reaching new heights of excellence with these
complimentary breeds of Cineraria. Here are just
a few reasons why these came out winners in our
trials-
Jester Mix
Polaris Mix
Polaris, the flagship of the trio, exhibits a
tight habit allowing maximum use of bench space.
Its vibrant colours will flower in unison,
similar timing to Stratos. Jester, flowers at the
same time as Polaris. Jester complements the
straight colours of Polaris with striking
bicolours. Stratos, the choice for early season
production. Flowers initiate under warmer
temperatures, so it's possible to flower in April
in cooler regions. Combine these three for a
complete Cineraria program.
