"Cortez Burgundy" - the burgundy color makes this a unique cultivar with strong consumer appeal. When introduced a few years ago Cortez Burgundy was the hot new novelty variety. While it is no longer new, it has become a standard novelty variety and still receives among the highest evaluations in consumer preference surveys. It is generally easy to grow and many growers use Cortez Burgundy even if they do not grow other Cortez colors. It finishes little later than Cortez Red and some growers use black cloth to bring it in earlier

Thanks Randy. The innate beauty of this plant is hard to capture, and the color is the thing.

Thanks Wayne. A touch with vibrance slider goes a long way ...... but even then it can't match the beauty of seeing this plant in person.

Thanks Jane. This color would look wonderful on a Queen's ceremonial robe I would think.

Thanks sundar. Processing red colors is one of the most difficult to get right, and it turns out burgundy is right up there at the top of the list. This was the closest proximation I could get to what my eyes saw.

What's not to love about this deep rich color, and little bit of greens and yellows just brings the color out more.

Thank you Julann. To me these feel like "royal" colors.

Thanks Jerry. This is the first time in 4 years (my yearly trip to the Poinsettia show), that I finally did justice to this burgundy color ..... all the other times it was too red, or too dark. This one feels right.
