Growing Camano Mordor

Stake plants early, as they regularly reach five feet and need support against late-summer wind. Pinch the central shoot once three pairs of leaves have formed to encourage branching and a generous bloom count. Feed every two weeks with low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds appear, and water consistently at the base to keep foliage dry.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
