Cultivation Guidelines

• Sowing Time: Sow from spring to early summer, after the last frost date

• Sowing Method: Direct sow outdoors or start indoors and transplant later

• Light Requirements: Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Insufficient light may affect flower quality

• Soil Preference: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Mix in well-rotted compost or organic matter before sowing

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged—water when the topsoil feels dry. During bud formation, water needs increase; insufficient moisture may result in smaller plants and substandard blooms

• Fertilizing: This variety is particularly heavy-feeding. Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and ensure adequate nutrition throughout the growing season to achieve ideal height and flower form

• Temperature: Prefers warm climates; not frost-hardy—protect from cold temperatures and frost

• Support: In windy locations, stake plants to prevent stems from bending or breaking

• Harvesting: For cut flowers, harvest when petals begin to unfurl but are not fully open for the longest vase life. Harvest early in the morning and place stems in water immediately
