Growing Summit Festival

Stake plants early as they gain height quickly. Pinch the central shoot above the third leaf pair to encourage strong lateral branching. Water consistently at the base and keep mulch away from the crown. Cut stems in the early morning when buds are just beginning to open for the longest post-harvest life.

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