Cultivation information Tanacetum parthenium Vegmo Sunny Ball

Vegmo Sunny Ball has been specially developed for efficient and reliable production under protected growing conditions.

Best growing environment

Greenhouse or High tunnel

This variety performs optimally under controlled conditions, where temperature and light are easily manageable. This makes it particularly suitable for professional greenhouse horticulture and intensive cut flower production.

Plant density

For optimal yield, the following planting density is recommended:

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

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

The slightly lower density in winter gives the plants sufficient space at lower light intensity, resulting in strong, high-quality stems.

Cultivation period

Vegmo Sunny Ball is known as an excellent and fast-growing year-round crop. The cultivation schedule is clear and flexible:

• Plug cultivation (tray phase): 4 to 5 weeks

• From planting to harvest:

  • Winter: 14 to 16 weeks

  • Spring/Fall: 10 to 14 weeks

  • Summer: 7 to 10 weeks

Thanks to the relatively short finishing period in summer, this Tanacetum is particularly interesting for fast rotations and continuous production.

Benefits for professional growers

1. Year-round production

Vegmo Sunny Ball is suitable for year-round production. This allows for a constant supply of fresh, yellow cut flowers. This matricaria is especially attractive in winter, when the supply of colorful wildflowers is more limited.

2. High efficiency

With a plugging period of only 4–5 weeks and a rapid finishing period in summer (7–10 weeks), cultivation can be planned efficiently. This results in a fast turnover and optimal utilization of greenhouse space.

3. Good shelf life

A key advantage of Tanacetum parthenium Vegmo Sunny Ball is its excellent post-harvest life. The flowers retain their color and shape for a long time, both during transport and in the vase. This is essential for export, wholesale, and retail.

4. Versatile in use

The spherical flower structure and bright yellow colour make Vegmo Sunny Ball widely applicable:

• Cut flower production

• Bouquet processing

• Mixed field bouquets

• Seasonal packages

• Sustainable flower concepts
