The Säckelblume makes a beautiful hedge
Is the seed flower suitable as a hedge plant?
As the easy-care flower grows not only in height but also in width, it is very suitable for planting in a hedge. But you should choose a hardy as possible variety.
Optionally, you can make the complete hedge with Säckelblumen or with individual flowers splash of color. Make sure that all plants in your hedge place the same demands on the location and need similar care.
How do I plant a hedge of flowerlets?
The best time to plant a hedge with flower seeds is the spring from March to May. Water thoroughly all flowers before planting and put some well rotted compost in the planting hole. Set the flowerlets a little denser than recommended for specimen plants. So your hedge will soon be nice and tight. After planting, water the hedge well.
How do I care for a hedge with flower seeds?
Prolonged drought tolerates a well rooted Säckelblume much better than waterlogging. Therefore, you should water the hedge regularly only in the first few weeks. Later, this is only necessary when the soil has dried. Use fertilizer sparingly. In late autumn, cut back the hedge by about a third.
The baggage flower hedge in winter
Most varieties of Säckelblume are hardy to about - 10 ° C. At least in the first year you should protect your new hedge with leaves or brushwood from frost. In an area with very low temperatures or icy winds, winter protection is also recommended later. Single frozen shoots cut off in spring.
