|---|---|---|---|

| Scientific Name: | Madia elegans Lindley | ||
| Common Name: | common madia | ||
| Species Code: | MAEL | ||
| Ecotype: | seeds were collected from Lane Co, Oregon near Eugene. | ||
| Propagation Goal: | seeds | ||
| Propagation Method: | seed | ||
| ProductType: | Propagules (seeds, cuttings, poles, etc.) | ||
| Time To Grow: | 0 | ||
| Propagule Collection: | Seed heads are clipped from plant when the sepals begin to reflex. | ||
| Propagule Processing: | Seeds were cleaned using a small air screen machine. | ||
| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
Seeds were sown into cone-tainers filled with Sunshine#1 (a soil-less, peat-based media) amended with micro-nutrients (Micromax) and a slow-release fertilizer (Osmocote 14-14-14). Flats of conetainers were placed in greenhouse set at moderate temperatures (70 degree days/ 50 degree nights) | ||
| Establishment Phase: | Seeds germinated readily with no treatment. Most seeds germinated within one to two weeks. | ||
| Active Growth Phase: | Plants grew quickly and when roots had sufficiently filled the cone-tainer (about 1 month), they were transplanted into 5'X6' tub filled with 12" of amended Sunshine #1 mix. Plants were spaced 6" apart and watered as needed. Plants grew to 3' feet high and were covered with blooms. | ||
| Length of Active Growth Phase: | 4 months | ||
| Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: | Seeds were collected from individual seed heads when sepals began to dry and reflex. They were dried on tarps in a greenhouse and cleaned in an air-screen machine. | ||
