Trial: Perennial

Years Trialed: 2009 (planted in 2008; plants flowered second year; no data first year).

Good Qualities

Year 2

Suitable length for bouquets; Very floriferous, pleasing shape in bouquets, it just kept blooming all summer here – perhaps because we never had a real summer here in the Northeast.

Problems

Year 2

Many of these did not survive the winter; One stem per plant and being a biennial equals high production costs; Difficult color to work with, since I was selling most of it at farmers’ market I felt compelled to warn people that is was poisonous.That fact often “killed” the sale.

Insects or Diseases

Year 2

None (2).

Similar species/cultivars

Too many look-a-likes available.

Postharvest recommendations

We just used water and always picked early in the morning.
