Common Name: Wallflower
Species Code: ERYSI
Ecotype: Colorado, MPCG (98-025s), Long's Peak Parking Lot (98-130s)
Propagation Goal: seeds
Propagation Method: seed
ProductType: Propagules (seeds, cuttings, poles, etc.)
Time To Grow: 0
Propagule Collection: Seed cleaning technique: Seeds removed from pods by splitting them open.

MPCG (98-025s) collected on 9/9/98; Long's Peak Parking Lot (98-130s) collected on 9/9/98.
Propagule Processing: Germination: MPCG (98-025s) low percentage; Long's Peak Parking Lot (98-130s) high percentage.
Pre-Planting Treatments: Seed treatments: None.
Growing Area Preparation/
Annual Practices for Perennial Crops:		 Propagation Environment: Greenhouse, 65-70§F day/55§F night. Propagated on heat pad (set at 70§F) under tent with misters set 8 am-8 pm, with 10 sec/15 min watering intervals. One week after germination, seedlings were moved to mister area without tent.

Germination media: Fafard Germinating Mix (superfine).

Growing media: Fafard Growing Mix 2.
Establishment Phase: Sowing/planting technique: Manually sowed in seed flat 2-3/slot, lightly covered with germinating mix.

Time to germination: 6 days
(Long's Peak); 12 days (MPCG).

Establishment Phase: germination uneven.

Time to potting: 1 month.

MPCG (98-025s) sowed 10/28/98; Long's Peak Parking Lot (98-130s) sowed 12/8/98.
Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: Seed storage condition: Seed stored in the greenhouse.
Other Comments: Comments: Propagation on heat pad may enhance germination rate.
