Growing Park Princess

Plant tubers after the last frost in full sun with rich, free-draining soil. Pinch out the main shoot early to encourage bushier growth and more flower-bearing side shoots. Water deeply and consistently once buds form, and feed regularly with a low-nitrogen fertilizer. Stake lightly if grown in a windy spot, and deadhead spent blooms to keep new buds opening until first frost.

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