Growing Audacity

Stake firmly at planting — plants reach four to five feet and large blooms are vulnerable to wind damage. Pinch the central shoot when growth reaches about a foot to encourage lateral branching and stronger stem production. Disbud to a single bud per stem for maximum bloom size if growing for exhibition.

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