in combinations, baskets, and as a groundcover.<br />
Glacier Z: 4-9 HT 4-6" SP 10-14"<br />
Glacier's drought tolerance and attractive white, grey, and green foliage makes this<br />
Hedera perfect for monocultures or combinations in full sun to shade.<br />

» Good air circulation, control of humidity, and good sanitation practices are<br />
critical. Good water management practices are critical to healthy plant growth.<br />
» Hard pinch required to improve branching and control vigor. For single stem<br />
plants – no pinch is needed.<br />
» For 8 flowering branches: wait until 6–7 nodes develop on the stem, then<br />
pinch shoot tips leaving 4 nodes (8 remaining leaves). For 4 flowering stems,<br />
pinch to two nodes (4 remaining leaves).<br />
» Treat with a preventative broad spectrum fungicidal drench at 1-2 weeks<br />
after transplant.<br />
» Do not use dry downs in irrigation to control height, wilting will stunt the crop.<br />
Helianthus<br />
USPPAF, Can PBRAF<br />
Additional Cultural Information:<br />
pH/EC: 5.5 - 5.8/1.0 - 2.0<br />
Rooting Out Temperature: 65-72° F (18-22° C)<br />
Growing Temperature: 65-72° F (18-22° C)<br />
Holding Temperature: 65-80° F (18-26° C)<br />
Water Requirements: Moderate<br />
Finish Times in Weeks: 6"/gallon, 7-9; 10-12", 8-9<br />
Spring Outdoor Finish: Do not finish outside until all<br />
danger of frost is past<br />
Notes:<br />
Repeated lower level PGRs are better than high rates less<br />
frequently. Bonzi (paclobutrazol) drench at 2–3 ppm, or B-Nine<br />
tank mix of 5000 ppm (daminozide) + 1000 ppm Cycocel<br />
(chlormequat chloride) spray, 1–2 weeks after pinching; 2–3 ppm<br />
drench at first sign of visible buds; 2 ppm drench when flowers<br />
start cracking color to hold for finish. Southern growers will need<br />
to use slightly higher rates (+- 1-2 ppm).<br />
