Godetia 'F1 Tall Grace Formula Mix'
Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 1996
Good Qualities:
Grew taller than my standard Godetia which was a total failure this year. Nice color mix.; Side branches produced good stems. Good color range but light pink not very good and dark red petal tips tend to go gray. Coral is striking and medium pink is good.
Problems:
Did not germinate from direct sowing method.; It fell over in rain/windstorm, but I just let the side shoots elongate and cut those. Grasshoppers preferred this plant (flowers!) over all others!; Color, appreciation low.

Comments:
Current Grace series, but may be a little taller.; Due to incessant rain for June and July, most of my Godetia was unharvestable otherwise the yield would have been much greater.; Sold to wholesaler in bunches varying from 10-12/bu (large stems) for $2.00/bu to 15-20/bu for $3.50/bu.
