Environmental Control of Flowering and Growth of Achillea millefolium L. `Summer Pastels'
View through CrossRef
Achillea millefolium
`Summer Pastels' is a qualitative long-day plant with a critical photoperiod between 12 and 16 hours at 18C. Plants grown under a 16-hour photoperiod flowered after 27 days, while those under 8 hours remained vegetative. Shoot dry weight was not affected by photoperiod. Low temperature (10C) delayed the time of flower bud formation and anthesis by ≈20 days. Low irradiance (100 μmol·m
