| Harvesting Tips |
Harvest flowers in the morning when they are well-hydrated. Select blooms that have fully opened but are not overly mature or beginning to fade. Use clean and sharp garden shears or scissors to avoid damaging the stems and facilitating a clean cut. Regularly harvest mature flowers to encourage the plant to produce more blooms. Remove any spent or faded flowers to redirect energy into new growth.
