How to Grow It
Pinch your plant when it reaches about knee height to encourage branching and more blooms. Appleblossom is a reliable re-bloomer, so the more you cut, the more it gives. Plant in full sun and make sure your soil drains well. Harvest stems when blooms are three-quarters open and petals on the back feel firm, not papery.
