Growing Eastwood Moonlight
Stake early and firmly, as stems grow tall and can be vulnerable to wind damage. Pinch the growing tip when young to encourage branching and more blooms. Water deeply and consistently through the season, letting the soil dry slightly between waterings. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds begin to form. Disbud side shoots if you want show-quality flowers with maximum size and depth.

- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
