| Honors: Best-of-class, uncontested. Overall performance was poor for the plants ground in ground plots and good for those grown hanging baskets. |
| Notes: *Grown in ground beds (G) and hanging baskets (B). Photographed 10 April. Condition of plants and flower display seem to favor use in a hanging basket. No plant death or unevenness occurred in baskets. Flowers, when viewed from a higher alleviation are more easily appreciated. Field plants are grown in native soil and basket plants grown in artificial medium. All plants received the same fertilizer and application rate. **The overall pest rating for disease on foliage and flowers is adjusted to account for plant death due to soilborne pathogens. ***The overall performance rating represents the sum of the combined foliage and flower rating averages and the overall pest rating. Read Evaluation of Assorted Cultivars as Bedding Plants, Spring/Summer 2002 for a detailed evaluation of performance for this cultivar, a report found on this web site that will be added to Articles, Papers & Reports. |
