Visual appeal and agrotechnical profile
The defining feature of 'Karel Doorman' is its fantastically curved, fringed, and ruffled petals that mimic the exotic plumage of a parrot. Unlike standard varieties, this hybrid draws attention with its complex, sculptural geometry. Its medium stature makes it highly versatile, suitable for both garden border arrangements and professional floral displays.
