Looking forward to a colorful spring flowerbed.

Wow. There are super tall stems on these. They are taller than the Rockets. Strong stem if not picked too early (give them a good wiggle). We are planting multiple successions and leaving a few unpinched for earlier bloom. I go with 6-inch spacing and would go even tighter next time. Put the support netting on right away. Wish Lisa offered 500 to 1000 in a pack. They are that good.
