Growing Mystic Spirit

Plant tubers in full sun once soil has warmed, spacing them roughly two feet apart to allow air circulation. Pinch the central shoot when plants are a few nodes tall to encourage branching and more flower stems. Water at the base consistently through summer and apply a low-nitrogen feed every two to three weeks once buds begin to form. Cut stems frequently to keep new flowers coming, and watch for slugs that may target the emerging shoots in spring.

Spacing: Space about 18–24 in apart
Staking: Compact enough that most growers skip staking
