How to Grow It
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil and give your plant room to spread. Pinch early to encourage branching and you will be rewarded with a high volume of stems throughout the season. This is a tall, vigorous grower that benefits from staking at planting time. Harvest regularly to keep production strong. Performs well across a wide range of climates and is particularly valued by market growers for its consistent output.
