The planting of the girl's eye - also known as the beautiful face - was completely uncomplicated. The heyday was bombastic. But now autumn is coming and the question arises: Do you have to overwinter the girl's eye?
The girls' eye is hardy in our latitudes
Very hardy and yet worth protecting
This perennial is very hardy in this country. Depending on the species, it can withstand temperatures down to -20 °C. But beware: If the girl's eye is in the bucket, it must be wrapped in fleece and placed in a protected location (e.g. on the wall of the house).
Outdoor species that are less tolerant of frost should also be protected. Place one of the following materials (a combination of 2 protective materials is also welcome) on the root area:
- brushwood
- leaves
- compost
- straw
- fir branches
tips
You can cut the girl's eye down to the base in both autumn and spring. In general, a pruning in the spring is recommended. The old inflorescences and shoots provide shelter for insects in winter.
