^w 1.0 inch = 2.54 cm. Measurement dates: 21 Apr. (alstroemeria); 30-31 Jan. (snapdragons); 2 Feb. (dianthus and viola); 15 Feb. (helichrysum, pansy, and wallflower). Snapdragon: height (includes inflorescence) was divided into two classes based on expected height: dwarf (<10 inches; 25.4 cm) and tall (>10 inches).
^x Flower data: first flower is the average number of days from seed sowing to the unfurling of the first flower. Divergence is the average number of days that lapse between the unfurling of the first flower and the last flower in plot or flat. Data was collected from 4-5 plant plots. No growth regulation was required for this crop.
^y Mean separation within classes by LSD, p<0.05.
