Growing Pearson's Pride

Stake your plants early in the season because pointed petals catch wind and snap stems if left unsupported. Pinch the central growing tip once you count four leaf pairs to encourage branching and more cutting-length blooms. Disbud side buds if you want larger show-quality flowers. Water deeply twice a week once buds begin to form, and keep a sharp eye on earwigs during bloom season since variegated petals show chewed edges quickly.

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