About KA's Coral Sea

A recent introduction (2024) that has begun appearing in commercial catalogues.

Growing KA's Coral Sea

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Stake your plants early as they fill out quickly in warm weather. Pinch the central shoot when young to encourage branching and more blooms. Cut frequently throughout the season. Harvest blooms in the cool of the morning before they are fully open. In hot climates, cut before blooms mature fully to prevent the center from blowing open.

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