Spring through Fall Finish. Standard PPP.
For all sizes of containers, pinch the liner 1–2 weeks after transplant; for containers larger than 6” and for hanging baskets, trim around the edge of the container as needed prior to spacing or hanging of the baskets. PGRs are not generally necessary. 'Flambe Orange' may require growth regulation under some environments, especially when light levels are low. B-9 at 2,500 ppm will control growth.
General pest and disease practices as listed in notes. Watch for aphids, leaf miners and white flies. No apparent phytotoxicity. Can be susceptible to crown and stem rots if grown in cool, damp conditions. Maintain good air movement.
Watch for Downy Mildew which can be problematic.
