Growing KA's Rosie Jo

Pinch plants once they reach about knee height to encourage branching and maximize bloom count. Stake early, as stems are strong but benefit from support once buds load up. Water consistently and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer after the first buds appear. Disbud to one bloom per stem if you want the largest possible flowers for show.

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