The pokeweed likes a sunny and warm place, but also feels comfortable in partial shade. The soil may be slightly moist and nutrient-rich, then the pokeweed is an easy-care garden plant that is easy to reproduce.
The pokeweed prefers to be in the sun
If you let your pokeweed do it, it will take care of itself and it will be difficult to fight. You should therefore remove wilted inflorescences before they develop fruit and seeds. This also prevents children from putting the tempting but poisonous berries in their mouths. By the way, all parts of the pokeweed are poisonous.
The essentials in brief:
- Location: sunny and warm or semi-shady
- humus rich, slightly moist soil
- very prolific
- hard to fight
- works against snails
tips
If you don't want pokeweed to overgrow your garden, you should remove wilted flowers before fruit forms and the plant can seed itself.
