This is how it works with seeds and cuttings

Propagate beard flowers by cuttings or sowing

Beard flowers can go through both sowing as well as propagate by cuttings.

Garden experts prefer propagation via cuttings, as the chances of success are greater here and it does not take quite as long for the bushes to bear the first flowers.

How to multiply the beard flower by cuttings

• Cut or tear cuttings
• In Potting soil put
• Keep warm
• Keep moderately moist
• Cover with foil if necessary
• Protect from frost
• Plant out after about two years

The best time to Cut or tearing off the cuttings is June or July. Cut or tear off a semi-woody side shoot so that some of the old wood of the mother plant remains at the bottom. The cuttings then take root better.

Shorten the cuttings to a length of about five to seven centimeters and put five to twelve shoots in a pot. It is essential to use germ-free cultivation soil.

Place the pots at 16 to 18 degrees and keep the soil moderately moist. A foil cover promotes rooting and prevents the cuttings from drying out.

The multiplication of beard flowers by sowing

Beard flowers are sown indoors from March to April or directly outdoors at the beginning of June. The earth should be permeable and with Potting soil be enriched. The seeds are covered with a thin layer of soil and kept moist but not wet.

The first plants germinate after about two weeks. They are pricked out as soon as they are big enough. Protect the plants outdoors frost.

After two to three years, the beard flowers will turn out to be the ones you want Location planted in the garden or in a tub.
