Eustoma 'Expt. White #278365'
Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 2001
Good Qualities:
Good color (2); Great germination (2); Good field performance; Seed was just a little late for us to get great results B The first bloom on these were short (10;) but the next bloom was better B I know these do much better started earlier; Good vase life.
Problems:
Plants didn't get too tall or branch like I'd like; Hard to sell white unless in bouquet or basket arrangement; Just average in a crowded market of cultivars; Same as #278449 - not enough good stems to note differences.

Comments:
Didn't see much difference in production or bloom among the white cultivars (3); Similar to 'Echo'; White is not my favorite color.
