How do you properly earn the honorary price?
Eäriger Ehrenpreis copes well with short dry periods. Waterlogging, however, he does not tolerate at all. Only water in hot summer months.
When and is fertilized?
Like all honor prize species, the honorary prize is not very demanding. He needs little nutrients.
Sprinkle something in spring and summer
between the plants. This ensures the nutrient supply. Do not use chemical fertilizers so you do not over-price the prize.
Does the Eärliche Ehrenpreis have to be cut?
You should prune right earning honor directly after the bloom. You reach thereby a second bloom time in the early autumn.
Before the winter cut back Eärigen Ehrenpreis all the way.
Can Ähriger Ehrenpreis be transplanted?
Transplanting can earn you the honorary prize of all perennials in autumn or spring. Dig out the root ball generously. You can pierce very large bales with the spade and thus win more plants.
