Re:Vibes & cuttings
Thanks Marge. Good to know about the earlier flowering of this Vibe. My MG
Nursery group just tried cuttings as a group endeavor last year, but we
waited until pretty late in the season. I think one key to success might be
getting an earlier start so the cuttings have the most available root system
going into winter. We'll try various shrubs and techniques this year. I
got everyone one Rooter Pot to try airlayering, too.
