Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 2001Good Qualities
Great colors (2); We grew in greenhouse and have never had luck with godetia until now; It bloomed until 6/30/01 and had to remove it because of spider mites; We are trying it as a winter crop too; We think we can do better with it in the winter.Problems
We are too hot for summer production (IL), all plants dead by 8/15; Poor germination.Trial Data

Sakata's Grace series is superior, in Chicago we grow godetia's as a winter or early spring crop.
