4"/4.5"/Quart/10 cm , 1 (ppp), 5-7 (weeks), Spring 5"/6"/1 Gallon/15 cm , 3 (ppp), 5-7 (weeks), Spring
Best produced under cooler temperatures for uniformity/quality of flowering and plant habit. In general, PGRs are not required, but can apply daminozide 2,500 to 3,500 ppm foliar spray about 2 weeks after transplant. Note: If unselected plugs are used, expect to see both single and double flowering plants in the crop.

Option to give a hard pinch at the 6 to 7 internode stage, leaving 4 internodes on the plant. This adds 10 to 14 days to flower timing. Can repeat a paclobutrazol 3 ppm drench in 2-week intervals as needed.
No pinch needed. Growth Regulators: Chlormequat chloride can be used at rate of 500 to 750 ppm (4.2 to 6.4 ml/l 11.8% formulation or 0.7 to 1.0 g/l of 75% formulation) at two weeks after transplant; repeat as necessary. Paclobutrazol 20 to 30 ppm (5.0 to 7.5 ml/l, 0.4% formulation) spray also works but is slightly less effective than chlormequat chloride. Avoid using daminozide or tank mix of daminozide/chlormequat chloride as daminozide will bleach flower colour to become less intense. Daminozide will also delay flower timing. Growth Regulators: For warm climates daminozide at 3,500 ppm applied as foliar spray or 2 applications of ancymidol at 20 ppm as a foliar spray. For Northern European conditions 2 to 3 applications plus 3,200 daminozide at 3,200 ppm plus chormequat chloride at 375 ppm is recommended.

For Northern European conditions 2 to 3 applications plus 3,200 daminozide at 3,200 ppm plus chormequat chloride at 375 ppm is recommended. Drench with a fungicide at transplant. Keep light as high as possible (DLI = 12 moles·m¯²·d¯¹) while maintaining optimal production temperatures. Maintain even moisture, avoid excessive media and foliage wetness, as these conditions are favourable for disease incidence. Plant growth regulators may not be necessary for this series. Negative DIF can be used to control height. Daminozide and ancymidol can be used for height control if needed. Drench with a fungicide at transplant.

The Tattoo series displays the best colour contrast under warm conditions with higher light levels. When grown under cooler conditions and lower light levels, the colours will appear to be darker overall with less contrast; colours will brighten with increases in temperature and light.
