Carthamus 'Superior Orange'

Good Qualities

Haven’t grown Carthamus for a couple of years, be we really liked this one; I cut it all and dried it for use in our fall arrangements, it was very nice, we always need fall color and they did not break up when I arranged them dried; Easy to grow, nice and tall; Germinated well, plants grew strong and healthy.

Problems

Very poor performance in greenhouse, leggy, poor vigor, did not survive transplanting; Not a consistent bloomer, very erratic, suffered from leaf scorch; Very poor quality, leaves turned yellow and brown, perhaps the soil pH?; Rabbits like Carthamus, however in spite of their nibbling the plants still produced acceptable side shoots; This one came on early and would be a better fall item for me, I should have waited to plant it; Buds set late (Zone 4), only a few flowers formed.

Comments

Similar to Grenade Orange; I picked the entire stem at the base and then when I made the arrangements I broke the individual stems down. So actually had many more stems than ninety, these plants were extremely productive; My customers seem to like this flower better in the fall.
