Growing Ferncliff Cameo
Plant in full sun and stake early, as the plants reach shoulder height and carry a lot of blooms at once. Pinch when shoots are about a foot tall to encourage multiple strong stems from the base. Water consistently through summer heat and feed with a balanced fertilizer once growth is well established. Watch for aphids clustering on new growth, especially early in the season.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
