Order WebTrack
The Bee Happy Series is about 35% more vigorous than ‘Bee Alive’, and about 50% less vigorous than ‘Bee Bold’. It features a semi-upright habit, and the plants can be grown closer together with less spacing. It is easier to control with less PGRs.
Great habit that matches well with NEW Red Improved.
