" As a result the varieties are available all twelvemonth round and ensures clients a ceaseless supply . "
Jupiter
Another unique characteristic of the varieties in this air , Nir continues , is that it has - unlike the rest of the Wax peak varieties - an inflorescence that centralize at the top of the branches and that does not surmount the base . " In turn , it sacrifice the production an additional use . Instead of being a makeweight , it can also be used as a central piece in blossom arrangements . "

Another example of the genteelness line is the Color Wax , best known for the " Vega " variety . Its uniqueness is in its colored foliage , which gives the grower the advantage of sell the product for up to 4 months , first as a colourful stem and later as a colourful bloom .
