Harvest and maintenance
To encourage continued flowering, remove faded flowers regularly . It is also advisable to sow successively every 3 weeks to extend flowering until autumn.
? Cut the stem as low as possible , at a strong node. This stimulates the plant to produce more flower stems and prolongs flowering.
? If a stem bears several flowers at different heights , favor cutting just above a lateral bud , to allow the secondary flowers to continue to bloom.
? Best time to cut: early morning or late afternoon, when the plant is well hydrated. Immediately submerge the stems in cool water to maximize their vase life.
