Growing Bloomquist Be Still

Plant in full sun and stake before stems get long, as they can reach four feet by midsummer. Pinch the central shoot at six to eight inches tall to encourage branching and maximize stem production. Consistent watering during warm spells keeps bloom size steady. Deadhead spent flowers promptly to maintain continuous production through fall.

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