Growing & Care
Sun & Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun daily.
Planting: Plant tubers eye-side up 4 to 6 inches deep after all danger of spring frost has passed and soil has warmed.
Support: Due to its tall, productive habit (reaching up to 6 feet), provide sturdy stakes, cages, or corral netting early in the season.  
Pinching & Pruning: Pinch the center shoot when plants are 12 inches tall to encourage low branching and maximum stem production. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep plants producing until frost.
Harvesting: Cut stems early in the morning or late in the evening when flowers are about three-quarters open. Miniature ball types deliver exceptional vase performance, routinely lasting 5 to 7 days.
