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. Pre-growing and planting times sometimes vary between January-mid-June.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
When the plant is about 20 cm 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.
