This variety is characterized by its compact growth, strong branching, and perfectly double, spherical flowers. For growers seeking a fast, reliable, and year-round Matricaria with a soft, warm appearance, 'Vegmo Snowball Extra' is an excellent choice.

Optimal cultivation under glass or high tunnel

'Vegmo Snowball Extra' performs best in a greenhouse or high tunnel, where climate and light can be optimally controlled. In these controlled conditions, the plant develops quickly and uniformly, with high flower production per square meter.

Recommended planting density

For an optimal balance between yield and plant quality, 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 faster growth allows for a higher planting density. In winter, a slightly wider position allows for better light utilization and air circulation, resulting in strong, straight stems and uniform flowering.

Fast and efficient cultivation planning

A key advantage of Tanacetum parthenium 'Vegmo Snowball Extra' is its excellent, rapid year-round production. This variety allows for efficient cultivation planning and offers flexibility within the production schedule.

Plug cultivation (growing phase)

  • 4 to 5 weeks

Within a relatively short period of time the young plants are ready to be planted out.

From planting to harvest

  • Winter: 14 to 16 weeks

  • Spring/Fall: 10 to 14 weeks

  • Summer: 7 to 10 weeks

The production time is particularly short in summer. Harvesting can begin within 7 to 10 weeks after planting. This allows for multiple growing cycles per year and offers opportunities to quickly respond to market demand and peak periods.

Strong post-harvest performance

Besides its high production capacity, 'Vegmo Snowball Extra' is known for its excellent post-harvest shelf life. The light yellow, spherical flowers retain their shape and fresh color for a long time, both during transport and in the vase.

The firm flower structure and strong stems ensure minimal loss and a longer sales period. This makes the variety particularly suitable for:

  • Wholesale

  • Export markets

  • Florists

  • Retail and supermarket concepts

The combination of fast cultivation, high production and excellent shelf life results in an attractive yield per square meter.
