Growing Bloomquist Compare

Stake early, as plants can reach chest height by midsummer. Pinch the central shoot when plants are six to eight inches tall to encourage branching and more stems per plant. Watch for discoloration at the center when days are long; color deepens naturally as seasons shift toward fall. You do not need to disbud for a good harvest, though removing side buds produces larger individual blooms.

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