Morel's CURLY Purple With Edge Awarded At Innovert Competition 2012

CURLY® Purple with edge (N°2595) broadens the fancy range of Halios®, with a new generation of large fringed flowers called CURLY®, offering both density and volume. The leaves are small, well staged, the structure of the plant is very solid.

The "CURLY ® Purple with edge” flower is original for two reasons:
– The edge of the petal is distinctly fringed,
– This thick white edge nicely fringed is offering a luminous contrast with the intensity of the purple, making the plant very attractive.

This new unique colour is now 100% stable in F1 hybrid, whereas so far this criteria was randomly seen in some open pollinated cyclamen. Ideal as a “Gift plant”, this variety blooms continuously; also the colour gets an exceptional life span.

Pot size 14 to 16 cm (5.5-6.25’’), up to 22 cm (8.5’’). This variety can easily produce extra-large plants.
