Skyrocket has been around for years.whereas Blue Arrow is a fairly recent market introduction. We choose to grow Skyrocket, and market them as such, due to the fact that Skyrocket was the first of the two varieties ( Skyrocket & Blue Arrow ) to be introduced & developed. We noticed absolutely NO distinctions between the two, no differences to speak of whatsoever. We have grown specimens that were labeled as both Skyrocket, as well as Blue Arrow - multiple specimens of each, and all were grown within close proximity to one another. Our opinion / stance on this subject is that the two names are synonymous, and both pertain to the same plant variety. There are several opinions as to whether there is any difference between the two varieties, or whether they are even two separate varieties at all.
