Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 2001

Good Qualities

Bright color (5); Very productive (3); Light sweet scent; Long bloom time (zone2), nice single/bigger florets; Kept flowering, easy to pick, held up for 7 days in vase with food water, bright, cheerful; Fast from seed; ‘Bouquet Purple’ and ‘Cinderella Mix’ were the best and my customers loved them both; The white wasn’t as popular; Real powerhouse, great for bouquet markets; Are there any other colors, purple was not too popular; Nice stem length.

Problems

None (2); Mildew on leaves, flower heads not vigorous; Tops turned brown after cold spell – while there were a few flower buds in between brown; some plants in same bed just died (3%); Must stay up with harvest or becomes difficult to cut.

Comments

The most promising cut trialed 2001 for us; excellent, brilliant blue, pink long lasting vase-life and blooms over extended period of time; We are wintering over the remaining plants – side mulched with row cover over; After initial cut flowers came back sporadically, so we cut plant 1/2 down – flowers came back; Looks similar to ‘Gypsy Giant’ (color and form) but not as large as ‘Gypsy;’  This did really well spring planted but I think that this will do even better if fall planted; Flower clusters small; Inflorescense not self-cleaning; Similar to ‘Melody’s’, color close to ‘Noverna Purple’; Bedding plant, too common.
