When red blooms hit their peak, Stiletto is the one you reach for first. Her pointed, quilled petals radiate outward with sharp precision, the kind of bloom that makes an arrangement look intentional and alive. Grow her for yourself, cut her for someone worth impressing.

How to Grow It
Plant your tuber after your last frost date in a spot that gets full sun throughout the day. Pinch the center shoot when your plant has several sets of leaves to encourage strong branching and more blooms per plant. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep production going strong. Your plant performs best with consistent moisture and a low-nitrogen fertilizer applied regularly once buds begin to form. Stake early, as the tall stems can topple in wind.
