Seed Raising, Growing and Harvest Information

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Temperatures below 15 °C delay flowering so plan to transplant when nighttime temperatures reliably not below 15 °C. Sow into flats or preferred seedling container 6 weeks before your transplant date.. Cover seeds lightly with vermiculite. Seeds germinate best at 20-22 °C. Higher temperatures reduce germination. Grow on at 15-18 °C for 3-4 weeks. Harden-off and transplant. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress.

DIRECT SEED - After last frost, sow 0.6mm deep. For cut flower production, thin seedlings or plant plugs at 20-25 cm in rows 30 cm apart.

NOTES - Succession-sow/plant every four weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.
