Sowing depth

Seeds should be sown at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm. Such shallow sowing ensures rapid and even emergence as well as the healthy development of young plants.

Sowing time for direct sowing

Direct sowing into the ground is performed in May, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil is well warmed. At this time, seeds germinate quickly, and the plants develop luxuriantly and evenly.

Sowing time under cover

Under covers, seeds are best sown in April in a warm, bright place. The resulting seedlings will be strong and ready for transplanting to flower beds or pots at the beginning of May.

Planting time

Seedlings are planted into the ground in May, after the cold spells have subsided. The plants take root quickly and begin to grow intensively, creating dense clumps full of flowers.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 20 x 30 cm during planting. This ensures the plants have enough space to develop their bushy habit and fully display their decorative qualities.

Flowering time

The Honey Moon variety blooms for a long time, from June right through to October. Its yellow flowers remain fresh and intense even on hot days, giving the garden a warm, sunny character throughout summer and autumn.

Cultivation

This plant grows best in sunny or slightly shaded places. It likes fertile, permeable, and moderately moist soil. The plant tolerates heat as well as short periods of drought perfectly. Regular removal of faded flowers stimulates the production of new buds, resulting in abundant and long-lasting flowering. This variety is resistant to diseases and pests, making it suitable for both home gardens and balconies or terraces. It is one of those plants that rewards minimum care with a wealth of flowers and extraordinary charm.
