Growing Brandon J
Plant tubers after your last frost date in full sun with well-draining soil. Pinch the main growing tip early to encourage branching and more bloom stems. Water consistently but avoid letting roots sit in soggy soil. Stake or cage early, as plants can reach good height by midsummer. Cut blooms when they are just past half-open for best longevity in arrangements.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
