While searching, I came across an older Hipp. variety called: "NARANJA"
I searched on this forum for some information, but all I saw were some pictures, and very little critical assessment regarding the performance of this variety. It's usually all about the flower, and not about the plant.
Growers, (past, and, present), of this variety, PLEASE give me your two cents worth. I'd like to know:
Is it a strong grower?
Are stems strong enough to support flowers?
Leaves...long and weak, or, strong and hardy?
Disease-prone?
Flowers:...good, saturated color?...good substance, or, fading tissue-paper?...multi-scapes throughout the year, or, "once-and-done"?
I know growing conditions and correct culture will make-or-break the best of plants. I just want to get a general opinion about this Hipp.
I'd like to buy-and-try this variety, ...I love the flower shape, and strong orange color, but I would also like to know a little more about this plant from those who have grown this variety. It's still around, so it must have legs.
Thanks....Frank
