Specific Sowing and Growing Requirements

Sowing Instructions: Transplanting is highly recommended. Sow the Campanula Champion II Rose Pelleted (F1) into your preferred seedling container 6-8 weeks before your intended planting-out date. Light is required for germination; however, applying a fine layer of vermiculite or growing media on top of the seed will help maintain moisture levels needed for germination and aid in dissolving the pellet coating. Bottom water or mist lightly to avoid displacing seeds and soil. Direct seeding is not recommended for this variety. Please note that this variety is day length sensitive and requires short days during seedling development to ensure sufficient stem length and vegetative growth before flowering under long days.

Growing Instructions: Choose a location with full sun, although part shade is tolerated. The soil should be well-drained and high in organic matter, with an ideal pH range of 5.8-6.2. For single-stem cuts, plant with a spacing of 4-6 inches. For multi-stem or well-branched plants, a spacing of 10-12 inches is recommended. Support is generally advised for this variety. Single-stem production is quicker and often preferred for greenhouse cultivation, while multi-stem production may be more suitable for outdoor growing. Expect yields of 8-10 stems per plant.
