The sweet umbel, which once came to us from the Alps and Pyrenees, is robust and hardy. The plant used as a medicinal plant, in the kitchen and for the production of liqueur does not place great demands on its location.
The sweet umbel prefers to be in the shade
Partially shaded location preferred
- partial shade
- humus soil
- slightly damp
- forest floor
The sweet umbel likes it in partial shade. Wind and rain do not bother the robust plant.
You get a moist substrate that resembles the forest floor particularly well. If necessary, you can enrich the soil with some peat or pine needles.
If you do not have a suitable partially shaded location in the garden, the sweet umbel also thrives in a sunny spot. It even tolerates sandy soil. You just have to water them more often.
tips
In a favorable location, the sweet umbel reaches a good 1.80 meters in height and 1.50 meters in width. Since it takes up quite a lot of space when fully grown, you should never plant more than two plants per square meter.
