Grower Profile
Difficulty
Ideal for
Growing AC Casper
Stake early because tall canes carry heavy dinner-plate heads that topple in wind. Pinch the tip at twelve inches to push lateral growth and steadier output. Disbud side shoots when you want competition-grade heads rather than garden abundance. Feed moderately through summer and watch for slugs around fresh basal shoots. Cut blooms just as outer rows finish unfurling for the cleanest white presentation.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
