How to Grow It
Plant in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil. Stake early, as this variety grows vigorously and produces large, heavy blooms. Pinch the center shoot when the plant has its first few sets of leaves to encourage branching and more bloom stems. Water deeply and consistently throughout the season. Deadhead regularly to keep flowers coming strong from midsummer through first frost.
