Qty:1000 Seeds
Description :
Usage
Plant for bedding, a good ground cover for border
Sow time
March-August End July for flowering in pots from September onwards; Outdoor forcing (frost free): from April onwards
Sowing method
3-5 seeds per plug, sowing directly into final pot is recommended
Germination
2-4 days: Do not cover seed as light aids germination. Maintain uniform, but not overly wet moisture levels. Dampen soil well before placing into germination chamber when using multi-pelleted seed. Use a well-drained medium as Alyssum can be susceptible to damping off. Maintain temperatures of 76 F (24 C) and relative humidity levels of 95 %. Cover seed with a light layer of medium vermiculite.
Growing on
Alyssum prefers cool finishing temperatures. Maintain 50-55 F (10-13 C) night temperatures and 55-60 F (13-16 C) day temperatures. Fertilize every other irrigation 150-200 ppm nitrogen in a well-balanced fertilizer.
Media
Use a well-drained, growing substrate with 0-30 % clay, 0-15 % parts (e. g. perlite, bark), 1-1,5 kg/m complete balanced fertilizer, iron-chelate, micronutrients, pH: 5.5-6.2.
Temperature
Grow at 13-15 C during daytime and at 10-12 C during night. Temperatures above 16 C will support stretching of the shoots and an application of growth regulators will become necessary. Lobularia does not tolerate temperatures below -2 C.
Fertilization
Low-moderate fertilization levels are required. Fertilize the crop weekly with 100-150 ppm nitrogen, using alternating a potassium balanced fertilizer and a calcium nitrate fertilizer (N: KO-ratio: 1:1,5). Avoid high ammonium and high nitrogen levels. Prevent magnesium deficiency by applying magnesium sulphate (0,025 %) 1-2 times and in case of iron deficiency (above pH 6.0) apply iron-chelate for 1-2 times.
Tip
Giga White is super versatile. Use it in packs, pots, or hanging baskets. This variety is an attractive all-around addition in mixed combinations.
