4"/4.5"/Quart/10 cm , 1 (ppp), 8-9 (weeks), Spring, PGR daminozide 2,500-5,000 ppm Spray 5"/6"/1 Gallon/15 cm , 1-2 (ppp), 9-10 (weeks), Spring, PGR daminozide 2,500-5,000 ppm Spray

Does not require a pinch. Repeat PGR application if needed. Higher concentration of PGR is used for small pot and/or low light production.

PGRs are generally not needed unless grown under very warm conditions. Height can be controlled by allowing the soil to dry thoroughly between watering. Plants can be allowed to wilt slightly after the roots reach the side of the container. Height can also be controlled by withholding fertiliser, especially phosphorus and ammonium-based nitrogen. PGRs are generally not needed unless grown under very warm conditions. Height can be controlled by allowing the soil to dry thoroughly between watering. Plants can be allowed to wilt slightly after the roots reach the side of the container. Height can also be controlled by withholding fertiliser, especially phosphorus and ammonium-based nitrogen. Drop temperature after Week 5 (when plant has 10 established leaves) to 45 to 48°F (7 to 9°C) day and 35 to 45°F (2 to 7°C) night for bud initiation. After Week 11, go back up to growing temperatures for flower development and forcing. Plants can be held at 40 to 45°F (5 to 7°C) for later forcing. Growing-on time in weeks depends on how large a plant is required. A large plant requires a longer time at 60 to 65°F (16 to 18°C) nights. From bud visibility to first opening of flower is approximately 4 to 5 weeks, depending on temperature. Drop temperature after Week 5 (when plant has 10 established leaves) to 45 to 48°F (7 to 9°C) day and 35 to 45°F (2 to 7°C) night for bud initiation.

From bud visibility to first opening of flower is approximately 4 to 5 weeks, depending on temperature. PGR treatment not needed if produced under low feed, dry watering and high-light conditions. If necessary, Topflor (flurprimidol) 30 ppm (7.9 ml/l, 0.38% formulation) spray can be used at 1 week after transplant. Repeat the spray 2 weeks later. Or Bonzi (paclobutrazol) 5 ppm (1.3 ml/l, 0.4% formulation) drench can be used at 1 week after transplant.

PGR applications can be made two weeks after transplant and repeated in 7 to 10 days if needed. Paclobutrazol 0.5 to 1.0 ppm drench can be used alternatively to daminozide. Paclobutrazol is not recommended for early applications in gallons, as this can result in stunting. All timing recommendations are for a finished plant with silver foliage, no flower. Add 4 to 5 weeks for flowering under long days. Finish with flowers in gallons only, not small pots.

Production of Salvia Big Blue needs to be pinched at 14-21 days after transplant, leaving 4 nodes. Finishing in gallons preferred for late Spring and Summer for easiest finish in the best daylength for flowering in season. May be finished in smaller pot sizes without flowers in 9 weeks for fast landscape input use. Lighting is still recommended for this finish, to set buds before sale. Repeat PGR treatments in finish as needed. Paclobutrazol may be used instead of daminozide in final stages, starting 3 weeks after transplant, at rates of 3-5 ppm drench (northern U.S.).

Field grown , 3 (ppp), 13-16 (weeks), Spring

Drench with a fungicide at transplant. Also see Cut Flower section for more details.
