Growing Mystique

Pinch when the main stem reaches about knee height to encourage branching and maximize bloom count. Stake early as tall stems can be heavy with flowers. Cut stems in the early morning when blooms are three-quarters open, then condition in clean water before arranging. Watch for powdery mildew in humid conditions and ensure good air circulation between plants.

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