  • LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun.
  • PLANT HEIGHT: 36-40″. May require some support.
  • PLANT SPACING: 10-12″.

  • STEM LENGTH: 12-20″.
  • VASE LIFE: 7-10 days.
  • STORAGE TEMPERATURE: 70-75°F (21-24°C).
  • HARVEST: Keep blooms harvested or deadheaded for optimal yields. Fresh or dried: Cut when 2-3 layers of petals have unfolded but before flowers fully open to reveal the center. Note: Blooms that are very open, past optimal maturity, will close in the dark of night and on dark, overcast days. These blooms can appear as if they are at a good stage for cutting, though they are overmature. To avoid these misleading blooms, harvest on bright mornings or let your harvested blooms set in light for a few hours. Overmature blooms should open back up for identification and discard. Avoiding over-mature blooms is especially important if being used for drying as blooms continue to open during the drying process. When dried, overmature blooms will shatter (fall apart) and appear discolored.
  • SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Average soil with good drainage.
