Just pinch out the side shoots to keep a central stem (trunk), and when it gets as tall as you like, begin pinching to maintain a ball-shaped top. Keep the plant staked to keep the top from breaking off. Standards can be very effective in planter arrangements or by themselves in a nice pot. Root the pinchings and you will have more plants for bedding. The photo of are a couple of my favorites, which were new plants from Rosy Dawn last May. |
