Growing Molly Raven

Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Your plant is a tall grower, so stake early and tie in as it grows. Pinch the main stem above the third set of leaves to encourage branching and more stems per plant. Dark foliage and stems are characteristic, not a sign of stress. Keep cutting to keep it blooming from midsummer through the first frost.

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