Gives professional greenhouse and field cut flower growers a year-round D. barbatus series offered in separate bright solid colours with no vernalization required. Produces high yields of saleable stems that make an excellent bouquet filler item for florists. First year-flowering plants are very uniform for height and flowering time. Taller growth is achievable from early, Autumn-transplanted, greenhouse-grown plants. Also makes a tall, top-quality landscape and bedding plant, with large, very fragrant, long-lasting blooms on straight, strong stems. The vigorous, basal-branched plants make showy displays – good frost tolerance makes this a season-long favourite. “Cut-and-come-again” flowering and no need for staking make these easy-care plants perfect for backyard cutting gardens. Can be marketed in 6-in. (15-cm) to gallon containers. Supplied as easy-to-sow pelleted seed only.
