Growing Blizzard
Stake plants early, as they reach considerable height and can sway in wind. Pinch the growing tip once plants reach knee height to promote branching and heavier flower production. Water consistently at the base and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form. Cut stems frequently to keep new buds coming; harvest at three-quarters bloom for best longevity.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
