Asparagus F1 Portlim (VAS22)
NEW FOR 2017
A 100% male hybrid that is ideal for green spear production. Developed to crop later than Gijnlim but deliver similar high quality spears, allowing for greater continuity of supply. Attractive, cylindrical, smooth spears. Tips remain tightly closed even during warmer weather.
Combines a high return with a productive life of around 20 years. Requires relatively little maintenance, and the crop is suitable for fresh market and roadside sales.
F1 hybrid ‘all male’ varieties are far higher yielding than the traditional types. Crowns are established roots, which are lifted and packed immediately before despatch.
Sow seeds (45-60/g) in January into modules at 16-18°C, following a 24 hour soak. Transplant in April or early May. Otherwise sow seeds into seedbed outdoors March to early May. Raising Asparagus from seed will delay heavy cropping by an extra year when compared with using crowns to establish a new production area.
Plant out crowns at 30 x 120cm, harvest a small crop the following year. Plant population approx. 20,000 per hectare for white spears, and approx. 25,000 per hectare for green or purple spears. Harvest small crop in year two, then crop normally in subsequent seasons. Cultural leaflet available to download on this website.

Geranium F1 Maverick Violet Picotee (GER415)
NEW FOR 2017
This series has been bred for high density mass production, they are easy to grow and very uniform to flower. The stunning 15cm flower heads make them well suited for both mass plantings and patio containers.
Pelargonium' Tender perennial usually treated as annual. Approximately 220 seeds per gram.
Variety selection depends on final use. Multi-headed types such as Multibloom are especially good for early pack sales. For pots and bedding, Mavericks and Horizons are hard to beat. Ivy-leafed types (Tornado and Summer Showers) are a fast-growing alternative to cutting-raised types. Where cost is an issue, the newer F2 types such as Cabaret offer an alternative to the F1 varieties.
Sow December-February, or earlier (October) to overwinter cool and flower as early as April. For sales in May, sow early to mid January. Cover with vermiculite A fungicide drench at sowing can help reduce the risk of Pythium disease.
Germination is rapid (4-6 days) at 21-23°C, keep constant compost temperature, and do not allow the moisture level in the compost to drop too low, otherwise germination will occur in flushes. Prick out after 4 weeks into packs or pots, grow on at around 15°C - takes 13-15 weeks from sowing to flower depending on the variety.
Always provide adequate moisture levels to maintain active growth, but be careful not to over-water as plants, especially if tightly packed, will be prone to Botrytis attacks, and because of this it is preferable to water earlier in the day, so plants can dry off before night time.
Cycocel (growth regulator) can be used to ensure a compact habit.
Perennial types:
3 weeks at 20°C, sow March-July cover with vermiculite.
Sell in: 2 litre pots as green plant with colour label.
End Use: Borders.

Impatiens F1 Lollipop Carmine (IMP210)
NEW FOR 2017
This new Impatiens has been bred to be the most professional on the market. With very high germination, the plants are naturally self-branching and fill the pot quickly. Great for baskets and containers.
Impatiens require great care, particularly in the early stages, to get the best from the seed. Modern F1 hybrids are produced to yield 90-100% germination given favourable conditions during raising.
Sow January-March. For first 5 days: 22-24°C, cover seed with vermiculite but do not exclude light, make sure well watered, low nutrient compost pH 6.2-6.8. For following 10 days, 22-24°C, medium moisture, ideally provide supplementary light above seedlings, give one weak strength feed. For following 10 days, reduce temperature to 20-22°C, one moderate strength feed. For next 7 days, temperature now 17-18°C, one moderate strength feed. At the end of this stage, strong seedlings should be ready for planting on into packs/pots as required.
Impatiens Downy Mildew is a potential problem for producers and users of this important bedding plant. We recommend taking professional advice regarding routine spray programmes when producing this crop. New Guinea Impatiens does not appear to be affected. Approx. 1000-2500 seeds per gram.

240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates 5-30°C. Sow March-April for Spring crop, overwintering type July-August, pickling type mid February-March. Seed rate 15-20kg per hectare, at a population of 65-70 per metre row length.
Bulbing onions:
A popular crop - long storage lives make for a good continuity of supply. Also popular for plant sales and competition growing.
240-360 seeds per gram. Germinates between 5 and 30°C, sowing date mid February-March, Japanese (overwintering) types second or third week in August. Seed rate 4-5kg per hectare, 2.5-10 x 40-60cm spacing.
The advantages of growing onions from sets (immature bulbs), rather than from seed, are that there is: shorter time to maturity, less sensitivity to soil types and a lower incidence of pest and disease.
Approx. 180-200 bulbs per kilo. Space 10cm (in row) x 25cm (between rows). Plant so that the tip of the bulb is just visible above the soil. Best results achieved from planting mid March to mid April. Planting into cold, wet ground can cause bolting so do not plant too early. Heat treatments are used to kill the flower embryo this prevents bolting in early plantings.

Pansy F1 Pax Scarlet (PAX065)
NEW FOR 2017
This series has been selected under U.K. conditions. The characteristics for this series are even flowering time, non stretching habit and short flower stems. Flower size is medium. Pax is equally suitable for use in the Autumn and the Spring. The Pax series is excellent for pot and pack production.
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.

Petunia F1 Duo Salmon (pellets) (PED158P)
NEW FOR 2017
This series has a better habit than traditional double Multifloras, with superior branching and more compact plants. The Duo series stays compact in trays, pots, window boxes and in the garden, and produces more flowers per plant. These Petunias have a higher germination and flower up to one week earlier than other doubles, therefore cutting production time. The Duo series has more uniform double flowers in the widest range of colours available. Also because they are Multifloras, the plants hold up well in the garden and recover quickly after rain.
Annual, sow on the compost surface from February-April, germinates in 7-10 days at 20°C. Prick out after 4 weeks into packs or pots as required. Grow on at 12-15°C; growth regulators can be used, according to the manufacturers’ guidelines. Sowing to flowering takes around 12 weeks. 9,000 seeds per gram.
Note-Star and Picotee types: Care must be taken when growing these types to avoid high temperatures, high light levels and high soil fertility, as this will increase the proportion of white. Conversely low temperatures, low light and low soil fertility will result in a decrease in the proportion of white.
Sell in: 6-packs (basket & ground cover varieties in 9-10cm pots).
End Use: Baskets, containers and borders.
Grandifloras produce fewer, but larger, flowers than the multifloras.However, flower size is not the only difference between Grandifloras and Multifloras. Multifloras generally grow faster, have more branches and flowers, hence providing more masses of colour. Other differences are smaller, thinner leaves, and flowers are usually not as ruffled or fringed. They also have greater disease resistance and weather tolerance.

Sunflower Ring Of Fire (SUN28)
NEW FOR 2017
Flowers have deep brown centre surrounded by two tone petals. Freely branching producing many flowers. 120cm.
Pot Plant Varieties
Sow Spring/Summer, direct into 10-15cm pot. Rapid growth, so requires feeding with each watering. Sell with main bud in flower, and lateral buds developing.
Cut Flower Varieties
Sow April-mid June, direct into the flowering position. Row width depends on variety (up to 40cm for largest varieties); spacing between plants around 12-15cm. Lightly cover seeds, and keep moist. Germination optimum 20°C, minimum 5°C. From sowing to first cutting is approximately 60 days in mid Summer - plants flower July-September. Denser plantings or excess nitrogen can lead to smaller flowerheads with less robust stems. Cut flowers just before first ray petals open. Treatment of stems with holding solution can prolong vase life. Seed count varies greatly from one variety to another.
Pollen-free Varieties
Pollen-free types can be sown under glass September to March, and outdoors April to August. Sow directly, cover with soil and maintain temperature around 10°C. Approx. 10 days after emergence, thin out to leave the best seedlings, spaced at around 10-12cm in each direction. High density production suppresses the production of sideshoots. Minimum night temperature 8°C, with a maximum of 25°C in the daytime. Provide little or no fertilizer, and water sparingly.
