Overview
This improved mix is an essential component of any cut-flower offering. Prolific double and semidouble blooms are easy to use in bouquets due to their smaller size. The 1 1/2-2 1/2" blooms hold up well to handling compared to larger blooms which can snap at the stem due to the weight of the larger flower heads. Cut-and-come-again flower, yielding multiple cuts over the season.
Planting
Direct sow after last frost, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost
Growing
Sun: full. Water: high. Soil: Well-drained loam, moderately fertile. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 7-14 days.
