Growing Ambition

Pinch the growing tip when plants reach about knee height to encourage branching and heavier bloom production. Stake early, as taller stems can sway in wind. Water consistently at the base and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form. Cut stems often to keep new buds coming through autumn.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Staking recommended once buds set
