Plants tolerate heat, wind and rain. The 'Golden Goddess', 'Samsara', 'Golden Star' and 'Goldrush' varieties bloom from May until the first frost.
The clutch comes from Mexico, so in our conditions it grows best in full sun positions. South-facing balconies are ideal.The claw likes space and feels best in large containers.Easily drowns weak and small plants, therefore it should be combined with large, strong geraniums and petunia.
Due to its rich foliage, the catch requires frequent watering. In sunny weather, water every day, otherwise the plants will lose their flowers.
The claw develops very quickly, therefore it must be regularly fed during the season.Fertilize plants once a week with two rations of liquid fertilizer for flowering balcony plants or once in April and July with fertilizer long-acting.
Stems quickly reach a length of 100 cm. They can be trimmed at any time during development.
The European splinter can be hibernated (at 15 ° C), but it is unprofitable, because flowering is abundant only in the first year of cultivation.New seeds are sown between January and March.
If the shoots are pruned every two weeks in April and May, the shrubs will take a nice, dense shape.
