Good Qualities
Rich purple color (5); In the past we had only grown the blue and pink, the white and lavender were surprisingly popular and were outstanding; Outstanding productivity early in high tunnel, attractive flower; Early color; Strong stems; Long vase live, pleasing flower shape; Flowers were nice; Gorgeous and very popular, excellent vase life, no insect problems; Vigorous, showy plants with good stem quality.
Problems
Set back severely by spring weather conditions in field; Thrips magnet; Germination wasn’t good and didn’t have many plants to work with, did like what I got, but just wasn’t enough to make a good recommendation; Heat stress; As apical flowers fade, they shrivel and brown without dropping, thus reducing quality of appearance, even though the subsequent flowers look beautiful.
Similar Cultivars
All colors of series are alike, we compared ‘Blue Improved’ to ‘Blue’ and found no difference; Other campanulas; For this entire series, I do not really see huge improvements over the standards.
Postharvest
I just used water; Cut early in the day, kept cool and also used Floralife, strip bottom foliage before putting into buckets, seems to help with absorption; No treatment.
