Liners

40 to 50 degrees
Grower Tips: 

More dwarf than other varities of Cephalanthus; will finish to a smaller plant.

Mid-summer bloomer; most growers will only be able to ship in bloom later in the season. However, new growth flushes attractive red about 6-8 weeks after a trim and provides good retail appeal.

Few insect problems, though bacterial leaf spot may occur.

Potting a 2 ¼” liner directly to a 3 gallon is not recommended.

Vernalization: 
Cold Required
