Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 1997Good Qualities
All but 10 out of the 128 cell germinated. Soft, lovely color of blooms, hold well during harvest. Dries well also, good stems, lengthwise and strength; I like the shading of it. It was a pale yellow and white and was a nice filler in the fresh arrangement. I didn't get to dry any so I have no data.Problems
I had no yield data on this cultivar. I didn't get a good stand of this plant. It was a dog for me; Poor root system compared to other limonium. Didn't really take hold & grow until August, but we had too much rain this year. I'd grow it again, definitely; It didn't germinate as well as the other limoniums; Crop stunted by using Treflan as a weed killer; Very late flowering.Trial Data

Comments
I think this would be great the second year-we dug ours up and put in pots in greenhouse and they are going nuts; We're going to hold this one over and see how it does in the spring. It was very late flowering and therefore we cannot comment until next year.
