Growing Honka Fragile
Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil for the best flush of blooms. Pinch the center stem once plants reach about a foot tall to push side branches and increase bud count. Cut often once flowering begins, as frequent harvesting keeps production going strong through the season. Watch for slugs on young growth in spring and provide support stakes if plants are exposed to wind.
