About 20th Ave Delicada

A recent introduction (2024) that has begun appearing in commercial catalogues.

Growing 20th Ave Delicada

Plant tubers after your last frost date in a spot that gets at least six hours of direct sun. Pinch the central growing tip above the third leaf pair to encourage branching and more side stems. Feed every two weeks with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form. Cut stems early in the morning when the outer petals have just finished opening for the best hold. Watch for powdery mildew in humid conditions and improve air circulation by removing lower leaves.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
