Growing Alpen Pauline

Stake at planting to support stems as blooms reach full size. Pinch the central shoot when plants are six to eight inches tall to encourage branching and a stronger stem count. Water deeply and consistently through the heat of summer to keep blooms full. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form to push color and size.

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