Pompon Santini With a Fresh Green Heart

Maverick White is a beautiful pompon santini with a fresh green heart. The vase life is more than excellent. The stems are strong and the heart remains fresh green throughout flowering. Maverick White also performs very well year-round in cultivation. Due to its uniformity, this variety offers many advantages for the grower. Grower Richard van Schie: "For a grower, good yield, steady quality, and uniformity of a product are important. Santini Maverick White has all that and is the best of its kind. What I also like about this flower are the extremely long shelf life, the year-round beautiful white color, attractive leaves, and a nice green center. Furthermore, this flower has an excellent spray, making it a good filler for any bouquet."
