Growing Ferncliff Apricot
Stake early, as these tall plants reach five feet and heavy blooms will snap stems without support. Pinch the growing tip above the third set of leaves to encourage branching and more flowering laterals. Water deeply and consistently once plants are established, and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds appear. Disbud side shoots around each terminal bud if you want larger individual flowers.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
