Matthiola 'Joy Formula Mix'
Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 1997
Good Qualities:
Excellent color (3); Bloomed even earlier than AGoldcuts@, mostly double, singles were useless; Long stem life; Good uniformity.
Problems:
I felt the rows lacked an income that would make them a viable crop. Possible changing our method of cultivation; Too many singles; Poorer gemination than the AGoldcut Red and White@; Bloomed poorly.
