    Growing Tips:

    Provide vertical support onto which the branches can attach themselves. Be sure to tie up unattached branches as the plant grows to ensure straight flower stems.


    Harvesting Tips:

    Harvest stems when the first flower has fully opened. Cut tall stems and harvest regularly as this encourages branching and flowering.
