Growing Hollyhill Purely Purple

Plant in full sun with consistent moisture and good drainage. Pinch above the third leaf node when plants reach about a foot tall to encourage branching and a higher stem count. Water at the base regularly and feed every two to three weeks with a balanced fertilizer once buds appear. Pot-grown tubers are recommended over field storage, as this cultivar is not a reliable tuber keeper over winter.

Spacing
Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking
Staking recommended once buds set
