Growing Mingus Paula

Pinch above the third or fourth leaf pair once stems reach knee height to encourage branching and increase stem count. Stake at planting before stems get tall, as the curling heads catch wind. Cut early in the morning when blooms have just opened fully to get the best holding quality from the stems.
