Growing Bloomquist Sterling

Stake plants as they reach mid-height, since stems grow tall enough to catch wind. Pinch early to encourage branching and a heavier flush of blooms. Give consistent moisture and a low-nitrogen feed once buds appear. Cut stems early in the morning for the longest display.

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