Personally never grown that variety....others in the past have given me various seeds/plants.......following year after noting the plant/variety
Well looked through various catologues...know where to be seen...
answer Google them....so long as you have some info...word it correctly...
usually it will turn up.....fingers crossed.... ;) ;)

Citidal was sold by Suttons, Dobies and most main seed companies.I grew it for years,never rosetted and stood right thru to april. I fear it has been superseeded by a newer F1 Variety.someone may be able to tell me which one

You are so right J.T. Peer Gynt would give sprouts from August to Dec and Citidal would take you thru to the Spring
