A Comparison of Seeding Mixes for Bedding Plant Production1


Ten species of bedding plants were seeded into either a sphagnum peatmoss or pine bark-based germination medium. Marigolds and peppers had higher germination percentages and petunia, scarlet sage, verbena, marigold, impatiens, coleus, tomato, and pepper were heavier at time of transplanting when germinated in the sphagnum peat-based medium. Plant weight was markedly decreased at the time of sale by early checks in seedling growth resulting from seed germination in the bark-based medium.
