The annual hussar button is a very flowering plant for the rock garden. Most of the time, however, it is cultivated in tubs or pots on the balcony.
The warmer and sunnier the location, the more abundant and longer the flowering will be. In a favorable place it can last from June until the first frost.
The Husarenköpfchen is not hardy and is grown once a year. Hibernation is not possible.
tips
Plant hussar buttons as close as possible to the edge of the planter. Then the long tendrils can hang down decoratively on the sides.
