Growing Askwith Minnie

Pinch plants when they reach about knee height to encourage branching and a higher flower count. Stake early -- stems are strong but height makes support worthwhile. Water deeply and consistently during dry spells rather than giving frequent shallow drinks. Cut blooms as they fully open for the best display.

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