Growing Kelgai Ann

Pinch your plant when it reaches about knee height to encourage more branching and bigger blooms. Harvest stems when flowers are at the three-quarters-open stage and petals feel firm rather than papery. Because tubers tend to be small and prone to drying out, store them with care in a cool, dry environment over winter.

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