Care
Water when necessary and feed every 4-6 weeks. Remove old flowers to stimulate new blossoms.
Cutting Hints
Water plants before cutting. Cut in morning or evening when temperatures are coolest. Select flowers with buds 1/2 to 3/4 open. Cut with sharp knife and place in pail of lukewarm water immediately after cutting. Arrange in clean container and add fresh water as needed.
