Sweet Deep Pink Maxine Selling Tips
This variety is a great for customers wanting fragrance, pollinator appeal, and long-lasting spring color. Its intense color makes bouquets look fuller and more vibrant, and the sturdy stems make it useful for florist work, farm stand bunches, and home cutting gardens.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
Grow in full sun to partial sun with well-drained soil and good air movement. Maintain a soil pH around 5.8–6.5 and feed with a balanced fertilizer around 100–150 ppm nitrogen.
Flowering
Sweet Deep Pink Maxine produces very fragrant flower heads with bright pink blooms.
Pinching
Pinching is not recommended. Allow plants to grow naturally and focus on strong light, proper spacing, and cooler production temperatures.
Spacing
Space plants approximately 10–14 inches apart in beds, containers, or landscape plantings. For cut-flower production they can be planted closer than landscape spacing, usually around 4–6 plants per square foot.
Pests
Scout regularly for aphids, especially around soft new growth and developing buds. Also watch for thrips, spider mites, and fungus gnats.
Disease
Watch for fusarium, rust, botrytis, powdery mildew, fungal leaf spots, and root rot.
Planting Sweet Deep Pink Maxine Liners
Planting recommendations are one plug per 4-inch pot and three to five plugs per 10-inch container.
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.
