Growing Ferncliff Carefree

Pinch plants early in the season to encourage strong branching and maximize stem count. Stake or corral stems as they lengthen, since plants grow tall and can topple in wind or heavy rain. Water consistently and feed every two to three weeks with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds appear. Cut stems in the early morning for the longest fresh performance.

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