Growing KA's Cardinal

Pinch early at four to five leaf nodes to encourage branching and keep bloom production high all season. Water consistently once established, letting the soil surface dry slightly between sessions to protect tubers. Provide a stake at planting to keep stems anchored against wind. Cut in the cool morning hours for the best conditioning results.

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