Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant after the last night frosts in a sunny spot in fertile, well-drained soil or in a pot. Space plants 30–40 cm apart.
Watering Water regularly, letting the surface dry between waterings; water less in winter.
Pruning Pinch the tips in spring for a denser plant; remove dry stems.
Feeding and winter care Feed every 2–3 weeks during the growing season with a flowering-plant fertiliser. Not hardy outdoors in Estonia; bring into a bright, cool room (10–15 °C) before frost.
