Re: Pacific Sparkle 4n
Matt, I know you won't be offended when I say this was culled. The 4n version of this cross made onto Red Beauty 'Prinse's Albertina' 4n was so superior to the 3n version made with Red Beauty 'Carmen' 4n which had extremely coarse foliage. We have selected five for breeding, again because we could not really separate them. One blooms in December, the only yellow one is 'NH' blooming in Feb-March, two others bloom in January and the spotted one blooms almost into April.

Andy, you must have a rather large skip bin or dumpster with all the culls you do!!

Re: Pacific Sparkle 4n
Do you sell direct or do you onsell to a wholesaler, just interested.

No direct selling, only through jobbers etc who pick up at the nursery.

Re: Pacific Sparkle 4n
Another new term for me - who or what is a jobber? I am assuming from afar that they would be the same as a wholesaler that would then onsell them to nurseries or florists etc. for retail sale.

Re: Pacific Sparkle 4n
Generally the wholesalers take a commission on what they ship whereas the jobbers take a risk by buying themselves and then finding customers at all levels from flea markets to high end stores.
