Compact Mounded

Perfect for premium pots and 10-in. (25-cm) hanging baskets, CannonBall offers excellent uniformity in habit and timing across all colors.
Tolerates the cold for early-Spring sales, and excellent for cold-finishing programs.
Compact habit makes it easy to grow for pot-tight production.
The series is early to flower, and all colors finish within a week of each other.
Plants feature good branching and don’t require pinch or PGRs.

Improved for higher quality foliage appearance and to better match the series in habit and timing.

Plant Growth Regulators (S=spray / (D=Drench: Daminozide(S) 1,500-2,500 ppm, applied 2-4 times, can be used to control habit early. Paclobutrazol(D) 0.25-1.0 ppm applied as crop matures will control final height but not delay flowering or reduce flower size. Daminozide applications late in the crop time can cause instability in flower color.

Comments: Cool temperatures and high light will reduce or eliminate any need for PGRs. Monitor regularly for high pH and possible iron deficiency. Flowering will be best as days lengthen in late Spring and Summer. Daylength of more than 14 hours will hasten flowering.
