Growing Bloomquist Honeycomb
Plant your tuber in full sun after your last frost date, once the soil has warmed through. Pinch above several sets of leaves early on to push branching and a generous stem count. Your plant will grow to roughly waist to chest height by midsummer, so stake or cage it as it fills out. Water consistently at the root zone rather than overhead, and deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep your plant producing well into the season.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
