Growing Gitts Attention

Stake your plants early before the blooms develop weight, since top-heavy white heads collect water and pull weak supports sideways in summer rain. Pinch once after the fourth set of true leaves to encourage side branches and a fuller habit. Cut stems in the early morning when buds are just starting to unfurl, and keep them in clean water to hold bloom quality.

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