PanAmerican Seed markets the Divine series for shade bedding, containers, and baskets and says the plants branch naturally without pinching. ## Maintenance Keep soil moist and well drained, favor partial shade, and provide more water in sunnier exposures. PanAmerican Seed notes that pinching is unnecessary for the series’ naturally branching plants.
