Growing Mingus Anita P
Stake plants early in the season before stems start to lean. Pinch the center shoot above the third leaf pair to build a well-branched plant with more harvestable stems. Cut blooms as the outer ring of petals opens fully and place them in water immediately. Strip foliage that would sit below the waterline to extend their cut-flower life.
- Spacing
- Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
- Staking
- Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
