Growing Brian R

Pinch when plants reach about knee height to promote branching and maximize bloom count. Stake early, as stems grow tall and can topple in wind or rain. Water at the base consistently and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds appear. Cut blooms regularly to keep new buds coming through autumn.

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