A Pansy that has been bred for use in baskets. Freefall is available in seven colours all with a vigorous spreading habit and medium sized flowers. The low spreading habit makes it ideal for late summer production as it is less prone to stretching. Meanwhile the sustained day-length neutral flowering ensures greater colour even through the winter months.
The higher cost of the F1 hybrids may be justified interms of uniformity, speed of flowering, clear flower colours and overall garden performance. In general, the larger flowered varieties tend to flower slightly later, and are especially suitable for late Spring and Summer flowering, as flower size tends to reduce as temperatures increase. Seed count approx. 700 per gram. Sow the seed into trays or plugs, cover lightly with vermiculite, and keep the compost moist. Germinate at 18-20°C, shading to avoid excessive temperatures which can depress germination. Germination should be apparent in about 7-10 days. After 4-5 weeks, prick out into 6-packs or 8cm pots. Use a slow-release fertilizer or commence liquid feeding after 2-3 weeks. For early Spring sales, it is necessary to harden off the plants prior to sale, by gradually reducing the temperatures. Pansies are very susceptible to stretching where temperatures are high for a significant period of time. Where reasonably low temperatures (i.e. temperatures not above 14°C) cannot be guaranteed, then growth retardant chemicals should be considered, virtually all are suitable for use on pansies, subject to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Side effects may include a reduction in flower and leaf size. Sow June for sales Aug-Sept. Sow July for sales Sept-Oct. Sow Aug for sales Nov-Feb. Sow Oct-Dec for sales March. Sow Jan for sales in April.

A datterino (‘little dates’ in Italian) type that produces a prolific crop of small, sweet tasting fruits, that typically weigh between 15-20 grams. Vibrant red colour. Fruit: red, mini-date, 15-20 grams. Resistant to ToMV, Fol (0&1), Va and Vd. Intermediate resistance to Ma, Mi and Mj.
We offer a wide range of varieties designed to meet most growers' requirements. While the old established favourites are still popular, the recent hybrid introductions have resulted in plants which not only perform better but taste better, an important characteristic in any tomato variety. New hybrid varieties with more unusual fruit shapes, colours and sizes are proving very popular both with fresh market sales and retail plant sales. Young tomato plants remain the best seller for vegetable plant sales to the public. For varietal fruit shape, size, colour and suitability please see technical table and individual product descriptions.
