Growing Evening Lady

Plant in full sun with good air circulation for best performance. Evening Lady is a tall grower, so stake early and firmly to support its vigorous stems. Pinch the central shoot above the third set of leaves to encourage branching and more blooms. Disbud for show-quality flowers, or let it run for generous cut flower production. Regular deadheading extends the flush through late season.

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