A NOTE ON FLOWER DATES Ever wonder what Flower Date means? The plant on the right gives you a visual of what Flower Date represents in this catalog. The flowers are fresh – not too open, not too tight, approximately at the 50% open stage of development. If you are a wholesale grower, you likely ship around the “Cracking Color” stage. These plants are shippable approximately 7 to 10 days prior to the Flower Date.
