Thanks for the reply!
I don't remember the name for this one, but I know that it was a monrovia brand that I got from Pike nursery. It gets almost 7inch wide flowers and really fills out with flowers and grows bigger each year.
It seems to have many 'main' shoots. I assume by main shoot, you mean the stem that seems to rise directly from the ground. It doesn't have one main stem coming from the ground, rather 4-5 big stems that seem to come directly from the ground. The shoots will be really big, if i cut the stem right where it branches from the main stem and keep it intact all the way to the top.. I feel it would be about 2 ft.. will the plant survive if I keep the stem that long?
Also, what kind of soil should I use? organic peat moss, spagnum (miracle-gro) peat moss, potting soil, perlite?
Can I use rooting hormone?
