Grower Profile
Difficulty
Ideal for
Growing Camano Roo
Pinch the main shoot once four pairs of leaves are up to push side branches and increase your stem count. Plant in full sun with well-draining soil and space tubers at least eighteen inches apart so air can move through the canopy. Water deeply twice a week once growth is established, and switch to a low-nitrogen bloom formula when buds appear. Cut stems in the early morning when blooms have just opened fully.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
