Growing Bracken Palomino
Start your tubers early indoors, because Bracken Palomino is a late bloomer and needs extra lead time to perform at its best. Pinch your plant when it reaches about knee height to encourage branching and more stems. Stake or net your plant well, as it grows tall and top-heavy. Keep your plant consistently watered and feed it with a low-nitrogen fertiliser once buds appear. Deadhead regularly to keep new blooms coming through autumn.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
