“FALCON F1” CMS* SERIES
SELF-CLEANING, POLLEN-FREE
AND ENDLESSLY BLOOMING?
These are precisely the features offered by the new series of premium
geraniums being introduced by Černý Seed s.r.o.
What is the main advantage of the new “Falcon F1” group? Unlike
conventional geraniums,
this new generation of varieties
does not produce any pollen. As a result, it does not attract insects and
does not produce the unwanted spikes which it is recommended are
removed during the season in conventional varieties in order to
avoid reduction of new flowers. In the “Falcon F1” group, the inflorescence
falls off spontaneously after flowering and the plants continue
to flower. Apart from this, the lifespan of the inflorescence is
more than 7 days longer and plants produce up to 20% more flowers
during vegetation than conventional varieties.
Cultivation is identical to that of conventional geraniums. Plants
are well branched and compact, 25 cm in height without inflorescence
(35 cm with inflorescence). The inflorescences are firm, 10-11
cm in diameter and flower size is about 4 cm. They tolerate both
direct sun and partial shade extremely well. Suitable for containers,
hanging baskets and beds. In large plantings, you gain a vibrant
colour palette which does not stop flowering thanks to the self-cleaning
effect. Seeds are available in scarified form.
Note: To better preserve the advantages of pollen-free varieties,
we recommend isolation from conventional pollen varieties. Spatial
isolation should be at least 50 m.
* Cytoplasmic male sterility.
