This vigorous strain produces an abundance of very large 3", double pure light yellow flowers with edges magenta. Bright green nectaries contrast vividly in the centre of each flower. Mature plants can have over 50 flowers at once held up on strong stems above the foliage! The Winter Thrillers Series is bred by Chris Hansen who has spent more than 15 years perfecting his strains working to constantly improve flower colour and size, plant vigour and foliage quality.
