Growing Clearview Arlene

Stake firmly when planting since the large blooms put real weight on each stem in any breeze. Pinch at four leaf nodes to develop strong laterals, then disbud each stem to one bud for show-quality heads. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form to keep color clear, and cut early in the morning just as the outer petals open fully.

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