Matthiola 'Goldcut Dark Blue'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1997

Good Qualities

Excellent solid color, good stem length; Beautiful color, uniform bloomer, fast to bloom, good germination; The few that bloomed were pretty.

Problems

Would like to see a more solid blue color. Too many singles; Even though we cut one bloom per plant, the yield or total income from the row was very low; This plant hardly bloomed at all in our climate. The flowers just didn't seem to become fully developed and open; Stock and I don't get along very well. I have yet to grow a marketable stem!

Comments

Possibly use as potpourri. Don't normally branch on their own, should try pinching next year. Because we didn't select and remove singles, we had a large amount of single stems--will watch for this in the future; It is hard to compete with stock being brought into the area. I do think stock has a place in greenhouse production.
