'Vegmo Single' combines ornamental value with reliable cultivation. Thanks to its rapid production, uniform growth, and excellent shelf life, this variety is ideal for growers who want to produce reliable Matricaria year-round under glass or in high tunnels.

Natural look and versatile application

The single-flowered structure gives 'Vegmo Single' an open and light appearance. This makes the flower particularly suitable for:

• Filler flower in mixed bouquets

• Basic flower in field bouquets

• Accent in sustainable or organic concepts

• Fresh addition to seasonal arrangements

The sturdy stems and good branching ensure high production per plant. Moreover, the flower is easy to combine with other cut flowers, thanks to its neutral color and natural shape.

Optimal cultivation under glass or high tunnel

Tanacetum parthenium 'Vegmo Single' performs best in controlled conditions.

Best growing environment:

• Cash

• High tunnel

These growing environments provide the right balance of temperature, light and air circulation, resulting in uniform plants and consistent flower quality.

Recommended planting density

For optimal yield per square meter, the following planting density is recommended:

• Summer: 8 plants per ft² (80 plants per m²)

• Winter: 7 plants per ft² (70 plants per m²)

In summer, the higher light levels allow for more intensive planting. In winter, a little more space is desirable to maintain sufficient light and airflow around the plants, which contributes to strong, straight stems.

Fast cultivation cycle and flexible planning

'Vegmo Single' is known for its excellent, fast year-round cultivation. This variety offers flexible scheduling and allows for multiple production runs per year.

Plug cultivation

• 4 to 5 weeks

During this period the young plants develop into strong plugs that are ready for planting out.

From planting to harvest

• Winter: 14 to 16 weeks

• Spring/Fall: 10 to 14 weeks

• Summer: 7 to 10 weeks

Especially in summer, the cultivation cycle is very short. Harvesting can begin within two to two and a half months after planting. This allows us to quickly respond to market demand and seasonal peaks.

The combination of rapid growth and reliable flowering ensures efficient use of greenhouse space and labor.

Good shelf life after harvest

Besides its high production and fast cultivation, 'Vegmo Single' stands out for its excellent post-harvest shelf life. The flowers retain their fresh appearance and firm structure throughout transport and in the vase.

For growers and traders this means:

• Less downtime

• Better transportability

• Longer sales period

• Satisfied end customers

The strong stems and durable flower quality make this variety very suitable for wholesale, export and retail concepts.
