Bracts will fade if shipped too early. Leaf and bract size is slightly smaller on Freedom Bright Red. Freedom Bright Red has a more upright, but shorter growth habit than Freedom Red. Freedom Rose grown in warm climates can be used as a dark pink color. Freedom is not recommended for tree production due to its susceptibility to splitting.
Freedom is subject to late season stretch if finished at tight spacing.
Be prepared to apply a soil drench of Bonzi after November 1, to reduce late season stretch.
