Growing Information

Planting Requirements

• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter

• Position: Full sun to partial shade (thrives with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily)

• Spacing: Plant 15-20cm apart to showcase individual flower faces and ensure good air circulation

• Planting depth: Position level with the original container soil surface

Care Instructions Maintain consistent soil moisture through regular watering, particularly during dry periods, ensuring soil remains moist but never waterlogged. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during active growth to support continuous flowering. Remove spent blooms promptly to encourage ongoing flower production and maintain the bright, cheerful appearance of the display.

Seasonal Performance

Autumn Planting Excellence Plant from September onwards for optimal results. Autumn planting allows plants to develop strong root systems during cooler months, resulting in more abundant spring displays and extended periods of sunny colour.

Winter Warmth The golden yellow blooms provide essential warmth and cheer during winter's darkest months, creating psychological sunshine that lifts spirits when natural light is limited. The bright colour becomes even more precious during grey winter days.

Spring Celebration Peak flowering occurs from March through May, when plants produce their most abundant displays. The sunny yellow and dark blotch combination creates joyful displays that perfectly complement spring's renewal and fresh growth.

Expert Growing Guidelines

Colour Optimisation The yellow colour is most vibrant in good light conditions with some protection from intense afternoon sun. Position where plants receive bright morning light with gentle afternoon shade.

Soil Preparation Enhance planting areas with well-rotted compost or leaf mould before installation. Good soil preparation supports vigorous growth and maintains the bright yellow colour intensity.

Pattern Enhancement The contrast between yellow petals and dark blotches is most pronounced in cooler conditions. The distinctive face pattern becomes more defined as temperatures drop.

Maintenance for Best Effect Keep plants tidy by removing any yellowing leaves promptly to maintain the bright, cheerful appearance that makes the flower faces most appealing.
