Semi-Cactus · 4–6"RedKen Greenway (2021)United States

AC Janis was bred in United States by Ken Greenway in 2021. The color reads like a glass of malbec held to the light, deep burgundy shading toward black at the heart of each bloom. Ken Greenway bred it with the show bench in mind, so flowers open with clean symmetry on stems that stand straight without slouching. It also holds its form on the show bench.

Growing AC Janis

Stake early, because these grow tall and carry a heavy bloom load by late season. Give them full sun and steady water once buds set, and disbud side shoots if you want the biggest, cleanest flowers for competition. Cut when blooms are about three quarters open and they hold their rich color well indoors.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
