Painted daisy pyrethrum "Robinsons Giants" (mix)
Painted daisy pyrethrum "Robinsons Giants" (mix).
Location: grow well in open or slightly shaded areas. Frost-resistant.
Soil: undemanding to the soil, but prefer moderately dry, fresh, well-permeable water, moderately nutritious. Heavy soils and soiling should be avoided in every possible way, since feverfew freezes out in such places. This is especially true for terry varieties, which are not as stable as simple ones.
Care: very responsive to fertilizers. Cut off after flowering. Tie up weak plants. In one place they grow no more than 4 years, as the bushes grow strongly and flowering weakens. Using mulch makes it easier to control weeds. Fertilizing with rotted manure is very useful.
Diseases and pests: Slugs feed on pyrethrum leaves with pleasure. Put a small plank next to the bush and look under it in the morning - there you will find slugs hiding from the direct sun and you can easily destroy them.
Reproduction: dividing the bush, root and green cuttings, seeds.
