Start seeds indoors or in a greenhouse 4–5 weeks before transplanting.

Surface sow or lightly cover seeds with fine growing medium. Maintain temperatures of 18–21°C (65–70°F) during germination and provide good light.

For the highest-quality stems, sow in late summer or winter for flowering from mid-autumn through mid-spring.

Transplant seedlings into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light partial shade.

Growing Tips

Antibes Soft Pink F1 performs best under cool growing conditions, making it ideal for greenhouse production during periods of low natural light.

Provide regular watering, balanced fertilisation, and support netting to encourage perfectly straight stems for cutting.

Successive sowings help ensure a continuous harvest throughout the cool season.

Harvest

Harvest when one-third to one-half of the florets on the flower spike have opened. This provides the longest vase life while allowing the remaining flowers to continue opening after harvest.
