Stock Cheerful Yellow

Summer stock is a fantastic cut flower! It likes low temperatures, yet we still grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. From one plant, you'll harvest only one flower, but it's a wonderfully large, double bloom. Stock has a beautiful, even intoxicating fragrance and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible. Cheerful series stock, in terms of difficulty, is somewhere between the Iron and Katz series. So, moderately demanding. A reliable choice! Cheerful Yellow is a buttery yellow color. All stock plants have some with full flowers and some with single flowers. The proportion differs for each series. Cheerful has 90% double-flowered plants, which is an excellent score. On our farm, however, we also use the single ones; they're wonderfully fresh and unusual. Show full description

Stock Katz Apricot

Summer stock is a fantastic cut flower! It loves cool temperatures, and we can still grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. You'll harvest only one flower per plant, but it will be a truly large, fully double bloom. Stock has a wonderfully intoxicating scent and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible. Katz series is not as susceptible to temperature changes and is generally easier for beginner gardeners to grow. However, this comes at the cost of thinner stems and a smaller proportion of double-flowered specimens. Katz Apricot is the most beautiful shade of skin-tone apricot. All stocks have some plants with double flowers and some with single. The proportion varies with each series. Katz has 55-60% double-flowered plants. Therefore, we recommend growing a bit more. But here on our farm, we also use the single ones; they are super unique.

Delphinium consolida

Larkspur QIS Light Pink

Larkspurs are spring beauties that are unparalleled. But if you want to harvest them for cut flowers, you must be vigilant and harvest quickly before all the buds open. Especially in the warm springs of recent years, they fade quickly, so we sow several batches 14 days apart to even manage the harvest. Delphinium QIS Light Pink is a beautiful, very light shade of warm pink. From one plant, you'll harvest one thicker main stem and 4-5 smaller side shoots.

Cultivation

ÚVOD

U pěstování fialy jsou nejdůležitější dvě věci.

První, i přesto, že se jedná o fialu letní, fiala roste v nižších teplotách (15 - 20 °C). Kvete tedy na jaře a na podzim. Pěstovat fialu během léta není moc možné.

Za druhé, u fialy se často objevuje termín plnokvětost, např. série Katz je z 50% plnokvětá. Ve výsledku to znamená, že jen 50% rostlin bude plnokvětých. Sazeničky lze vyselektovat, nicméně je to poměrně složitý proces a v minulosti se nám to na farmě moc nedařilo. Proto nám přijde nejlepší, počítat s tím, že část fial vykvete jednoduchých a ty nějak fikaně zakomponovat do kytic.

VÝSEV

Fialu vždy předpěstováváme. Vysejeme 1 semeno do buňky sadbovače. Sejeme na povrch substrátu a zakryjeme vrstvou vermikulitu.

Při teplotě 20 - 22 °C fiala vyklíčí za 3 - 5 dní. Pozor, naopak příliš vysoká teplota (přes 25 °C) snižuje u fialy klíčivost.

V sadbovači fiala stráví 4 - 5 týdnů, než doroste v sazeničku, kterou můžete sázet do záhonu.

Před přesazením doporučujeme sazeničky fial otužit. I se sadbovačem je přesuňte ven (za okno), aby byly vystaveny venkovním podmínkám. Během otužování sazeničky krásně zesílí a budou pak lépe snášet přesazení.

ZAŠTIPOVÁNÍ

Pozor, fialu nezaštipujeme! V nabídce máme (zatím) jen jednostonkové odrůdy (Katz, Iron) a zaštípnutí by způsobilo, že by již fiala nevykvetla. Fialy se tedy pěstují jako jednostonkové, tzn. 1 semínko = 1 rostlina = 1 stonek.

SPON

Tím, že se fialy pěstují jako jednostonkové, používá se i intenzivnější spon. Sazeničky se sázejí 12 cm od sebe. U nás máme záhony široké 90 cm a tak sázíme celkem 7 řádků na záhon a v řádku jsou sazeničky od sebe 12 cm.

PĚSTOVÁNÍ

U fial je nejdůležitější myslet na to, že potřebují nižší teploty (ideálně 15 - 20 °C). Pokud tedy fialy pěstujete ve fóliovníku, nezapomeňte pravidelně větrat a snažit se udržet teplotu pod 20 °C.

I přesto, že fiala nijak nereaguje na délku dne, vyšší teplota a delší dny mohou u fialy způsobit předčasné kvetení. Proto je mimochodem náročné fialu pěstovat v létě. Pokvete vám totiž a bude mít sotva 15 cm.

Po přesazení záhon důkladně zalijte. U fial držte pravidelnou zálivku, aby pořádně zakořenily a zároveň rostly do výšky. Nezapomeňte pravidelně přihnojovat. Jakmile začnou fialy kvést můžete na zálivce ubrat.

OPORA

Pokud jste profesionál a pěstujete fialu k řezu, doporučujeme oporu, resp. síť, kterou budou fialy prorůstat. Bez opory se totiž jinak může stát, že stonky budou zahnuté a jinak pokroucené. Pro krásně rovné stonky je síť nutností.

SKLIZEŇ

Pokud pěstujete fialu k řezu, sklízí se i s kořeny. Jednoduše vytáhněte celou rostlinku ze záhonu.

DRUHY

V nabídce máme celkem tři série fialy, které se nám na farmě osvědčily a rádi je pěstujeme.

Fiala Iron

Robustnější stonky, choulostivější, ale ve výsledku kvalitnější, vyšší plnokvětost v porování se sérií Katz.

Fiala Cheerful

Velmi ranná fiala, jednoduchá na pěstování, doporučujeme všem, kdo začínají s pěstováním fialy letní.

Fiala Katz

Skvělý kultivar, který v porovnání se sérií Cheerful nabící širší barevnou paletu. Velmi jednoduchá na pěstování, přečká výkyvy teplot, nepravidelnost závlahy. Doporučujeme do začátků.

Summer Stock is a great cut flower! It likes low temperatures, and even so, we grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. From one plant, you'll harvest only one flower, but it will be a properly large, double one. Stock has a wonderfully intoxicating fragrance and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible. The Iron series has robust stems and all the qualities for large production. However, it is more susceptible to temperature fluctuations, making it more challenging to grow, so we recommend it more for advanced gardeners. Iron Pink is a shade of pink with delicate light reflections in the center of the flowers. All stocks have some plants with full double flowers and some with single flowers. The proportion varies with each series. Iron has 55% double-flowered plants. We therefore recommend planting a bit more. On our farm, however, we also use the single ones; they're super unique.
