Description

Dwarf and compact mound shaped plants covered in mid blue flowers, very well suited to 9cm and 1 litre pot production.

Sowing Instructions

Multi sow into a 576 plug tray with 3 or 4 seeds per station to obtain bushier plants. Alternatively sow into a seed tray and then prick out the seedlings in clumps. Sow on to the surface of moist seed sowing compost. Don't cover the seed and propagate at 18 20c. Germination can be a slow process taking up to 2 months. When the seedlings have emerged grow on at 15c reducing to 10 as they become established.

Growing Instructions

Grow on at around 10 for the January sowings and as cool as possible for the April to June sowings. When the January sowings are established pot then on into 9cm pots or put three or more plugs into a 1 or 2 litre pot for sales later on in early July. Plants from this sowing can also be used for sales in either a pack 12 or pack 6. The April to June sowings will be ready for potting during summer and can then be over wintered in a well ventilated cold glass house, tunnel or cold frame for sales in flower in June.
