Each stem of Pom should have a minimum of 4 to 5 blooms and bunches should meet all grading requirements ( see below).

Santini's are a series of smaller bloomed varieties available in a wide variety of fun colors and shapes.

Assorted boxes of daisy or cushion types should be packed approx 50% white, 25% yellow, 20% pink, 5% novelties.
Assorted boxes of dutch novelties should contain 50% pink, 30 % yellow, 15% white, 5% novelties.
Color assortments must be adjusted seasonally with more white for Xmas , bronze for Fall, and more lavender for Spring.
There is increasing demand for novelty red / bronze varieties on a year round basis and these should not only be planted for the Fall season.
Boxes destined for export must be clearly identified with quantity, variety name, colour mix and grade.
Bunches should be well hydrated before shipping as chrysanthemums dehydrate easily in transit.
