This variety offers double, white, many-petalled flowers with yellow centers blooming from May to August, with several layers of re-blooming throughout the season. Bring charm to patio containers, borders, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens, attracting butterflies to the landscape with Mt Hood. Perennial in zone 4-10, this plant flourishes in full sun and has a tidy mounding habit of 16-20" tall and 20" wide. For a taller variety that doesn't require vernalization, try Western Star Taurus.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Mt Hood, plant one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.8, EC of 1.0-1.2, temperatures of 74-76 daytime and 68-70 nighttime, and low feed (50-100 ppm N). This facultative long-day plant requires daylight extension to 14 hours at 4,000-6,000 fc. This variety needs vernalization for eight weeks at or below 45 degrees. Watch for aphids, thrips, and botrytis.
Flowering
White flowers with yellow centers bloom in multiple layers in summer.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.
Height Control
This plant doesn't require PGRs.
Pests
You may see aphids and thrips.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease but watch for botrytis during cool, humid weather. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse and water at the base of each plant, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Mt Hood Liners
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container. Six-inch pots finish in 10-12 weeks.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
