Ball · 4–5"White

White petals streak and check with lilac purple, shading deeper toward a plum heart as flowers age. Stems stay tall and strong, cutting cleanly for mixed bunches and market bouquets. Rounded fully double heads hold their form through heat and light rain, making Genova a reliable pick when growers want patterned color without the usual fragility.

Growing Genova

Stake early since tall canes carry heavy heads that can lean after storms. Pinch at knee height to push lateral stems and keep cuts uniform. Water deeply and consistently once buds form, easing off near harvest to sharpen the purple markings. Disbud side buds when you want show-quality stems, or leave them for spray bunches.

Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
