The plants were grown in the greenhouse for 3 weeks, followed by a 5-week vernalization period at 4°C.
Low temperature vernalization is the most important factor governing the transition from vegetative to reproductive development in this plant.
The variety requires no vernalisation, meaning that flowers are produced 10 to 12 weeks after the seed is sown.
