Abstract
Achillea filipendulina `Cloth of Gold', Astilbe arendsii, Campanula carpatica `Blue Clips', Echinacea purpurea `Bravado', Gaillardia grandiflora `Goblin', Lavandula angustifolia `Munstead Dwarf', Oenothera missouriensis, Rudbeckia fulgida `Goldstrum' plugs were stored at 5C for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks under a 5 μmol· s-1· m-2 PPF. Sample plants were removed and planted in 10 cm pots and placed in a 19C, constant temperature greenhouse under short-day or long-day photoperiods. Long-days were provided with night-break lighting from 10:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. by incandescent lamps. In Achillea, Campanula and Gaillardia, only terminal buds grew in the long-day photoperiod while both terminal and lateral buds grew under short-days. Development of Astilbe, Echinacea, Oenothera, Rudbeckia was minimal under short-days compared to that under long-days. Lavandula in the early treatments remained vegetative, short, and compact under short days, whereas plants elongated and flowered while grown under long days. Longer durations of storage shortened the time from potting to flowering for Lavandula.
