Trial: Perennial

Years Trialed: 2003, 2004

Good Qualities

Year 1

Easy to grow; Last/late flower in production, perhaps too late in an early year; This is a great plant, I will grow this one again and more of it, it holds up great, produces a lot of stems per plant and everyone loves it; Great plant, very useful in bouquets and loved by florist customers; Plants were in good shape on arrival; Excellent filler flower, lots of 1 inch blooms per stem, lots of very usable side stems for bouquet use, very good vase life with standard postharvest treatments.

Year 2

Very useful plant, easy to grow, flowers at a time when we need something new; Late summer timing, (Zone 5), spray type flowers make into arrangements quickly; Comes on later in season (Zone 6b), nice spray of flowers, customers really like.

Problems

Year 1

Acts like biennial (3); It dies out after 2 seasons, sometimes only makes it one season; Did not perform as well as previous year; Plants received in spring will be good next year, difficult to germinate seed, powdery mildew.

Year 2

Inconsistent vase life; Weak plant.

Comments

Year 1

Weak plant; Easy to grow from seed, why would one want to buy biennial plants; I grew as annual previous year/may not overwinter, perhaps better as an annual; I have grown this for 4 years, it is not really a perennial, but reseeds well and seems perennial because of that; I treat this as a biennial; Excellent cut if grown from seed or plugs and kept only two seasons.

Year 2

Died after flowering (biennial) in 2003; Would like to have better handle on post harvest; One trialer noted a vase life of 7 days.
