CATHARANTUS see VINCA Celosia Amaranthaceae Cockscomb Dwarf varieties are suited for bedding and pot sales. Do not plant out before mid-May. Pot up directly from young plugs. Young plants benefit from warm and moist conditions. Stress in an early stage results in premature flower induction and flowers on immature plants. Sensitive to salt, therefore nutrition should be mediocre. Tall varieties are suitable for cutting.

’Single Gold’ By growing Tagetes erecta nematodes are easily controlled. To properly use this enviromentally friendly weed control, sow end of May till mid-June. Seeds need to be sown 1 - 2 cm deep (7.5 kg/ha). Late sowings require 10 kg/ha. Good nutrition and watering provide ideal conditions, so plant habit is dense. The longer the plants stand, the better the effect. But the longer the plants grow, the harder it gets to work in the woody stems.
