Callistephus chinensis
A wonderful balance of colours on perfectly shaped, upright plants that average 60 cm (2') in height and only 30 cm (1') across. Fully double 6 cm (4") wide fragrant blooms are born in such numbers, they almost hide the foliage of the plant! Wilt resistant. Like Giant Crego, Powderpuff Bouquet makes a great cut flower. As this is an older variety originating before 1900, it is popular with heirloom plant enthusiasts.
How to Grow
Sow seed directly outdoors in mid May or for earlier flowering, start indoors in a soil-less growing medium from mid March through to early April. Keep seed at the surface as light aids in germination. Seed will germinate in 7-15 days at 21 C (70 F). Note: Germination can be irregular and ranges from 50 to 80 %. After germination, grow on indoors under lights at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Dead head to promote continued flowering.
Annual.Approx. 150 seeds/pkt.
