Beard flowers are frugal garden dwellers that do not need much care. Once they grow in a favorable location, you can enjoy the pretty ornamental shrubs with their eye-catching blue flowers for many years. Tips for the right location.
The beard flower likes it sunny
The right place for your beard flowers
- full sun
- Warm
- Not too wet
- loose soil
The sunnier the better - in shady locations you will wait in vain for a beautiful blossom of the bearded beard.
A dry soil is better than when the soil is too wet. Beard flowers do not tolerate waterlogging at all, because their roots rot if they are too wet. Make sure that irrigation and rainwater can drain off well.
Beard flowers prefer alkaline soil, but can also cope with slightly acidic locations.
tips
Is your garden often visited by snails? Then plant a few of the non-toxic bearded flowers in front of endangered beds. Snails don't like the hairy leaves and their scent and let them drive them away.
