How to Grow
Direct sow after all danger of frost, or start indoors 4–6 weeks early for a jump on the season. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, then let it dry slightly between waterings. Pinch young plants at 4 sets of leaves to encourage branching and more blooms. Give this variety extra room — it grows tall. Cut often for the vase.
Good to Know
As one of the taller varieties in the Benary's Giant line, this one benefits from a little wind protection or light support in exposed spots. Good air circulation helps prevent powdery mildew late in the season.
