Growing Hollyhill Court Jester
Stake plants early because mature height regularly exceeds four feet and stems can snap in wind. Pinch above the third leaf pair to build a well-branched framework before buds form. Water deeply and consistently at the root zone, and feed every two to three weeks with a low-nitrogen formula once flowering starts. Cut blooms early in the day and harvest often to keep new buds pushing through fall.
- Spacing
- Space about 3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
