Growing Hollyhill Buttermilk

Plant tubers in full sun after the last frost. Space plants to allow airflow and encourage strong stem development. Pinch the central shoot early to promote branching and a higher yield of cut-ready stems. Regular deadheading keeps production up. Stake plants when young before they get too tall.

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