Growing Bright Eyes

Pinch plants early to encourage a full, bushy framework and maximize bloom count. Stake at planting time, as stems can reach a metre and are prone to wind damage. Water deeply at the base rather than overhead to discourage fungal issues. Cut flowers when the outer ring of petals has fully opened but the center disk is still tight for the best post-harvest longevity.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
