Moluccella laevis

Details:
Plant type: annual
Height: 24-36”
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 90-110 days
Plant spacing: 12”
Pinch: not necessary
Approx seeds per packet: 100
How to Grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 6-8 weeks before last frost. Germination is often slow and erratic, so be patient. Pre-chilling seed in the freezer or putting freshly sowed trays outside for a few weeks before returning them to heat will help speed up the process. Transplant out after all danger of frost has passed.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Harvest blooms once the green bells start to form along the stem. Remove leaves from the lower half of the stem because they often yellow. A vase of up to 2 weeks can be expected with the use of floral preservative.
