Big Business
Ideal stem, leaf, and spike proportions
Efficient and productive
Strong vase life
Big Business is part of the Floreals product group. This group consists of varieties with large spikes (more than 50% of the stem is made up of spike), a compact length, and slim leaves below the lowermost bud. These varieties are also selected for vase life. In production, gladioli from the Floreals group are efficient and productive, thanks to a relatively short forcing time, uniform flowering, and a low loss percentage. Big Business is resistant to disease, heat, and bright sunlight. We're noticing a growing demand for this variety thanks to the interest in this color from the flower traders and healthy growth in production.
The photos of this variety will be supplemented and improved next summer with the flowers from our show garden for a clearer and more beautiful image.
