Old French winter variety with long white stems and blue-gray leaves. Very cold and frost tolerant, can be left outside throughout the winter. Hardy. The colder it gets, the darker green it becomes. Germination after 7-14 days at 16-20°C/60-68°F. Pre-growing and planting times sometimes vary between January-mid-June.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
When the plant is about 20 cm/7.9 in long, it can be placed in the open ground. During growth, keep mounding, which brings longer stems with higher white content. Always fertilize a little in between. Plant out in the final place by mid-June at the latest.
