Care Tips:

Soil: Enrich soil with organic matter and incorporate 2 cups of balanced organic fertilizer per 3m (10') of row.
Watering: Irrigate regularly to support robust growth.
Boron Application: When plants reach 30cm (12"), apply a boron solution (5ml borax in 350ml water) over 5m (15') of row to enhance seed and flower size. Do not over-apply and avoid using boron on other plants.
Harvesting: Cut flower heads when the back turns yellow.

Companion Planting:

Corn: Plant near corn rows to potentially increase yields.
Squash: Plant amidst squash to improve pollination and production.
Soil Remediation: Can draw heavy metals and toxins from the soil; burn plants if used for this purpose.
