Growing Taishan Yellow in Alabama
Set plants outdoors after frost danger passes. Choose a sunny location with good drainage and water deeply when the soil surface begins to dry. Avoid keeping foliage wet overnight in Alabama’s humid summers. Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy and use a modest amount of fertilizer if growth slows. Treat as a warm-season annual, since frost will damage the plants.
