Growing Aether

Stake early, because these tall stems climb fast once summer heat arrives. Plant after your last frost in rich, well drained soil and full sun, spacing generously so air moves freely around the stems. Water deeply at the base, feed lightly through midsummer, and deadhead spent flowers to keep new buds coming. Leave a few late blooms open for pollinators, then lift the tubers before hard frost.

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