Hardy or sensitive to frost?

Hussar heads are pulled as an annual

The hussar button is a non-toxic annual that is not hardy at all. The first frost it freezes to death and dies.

Even if you do that Hussar button would bring into the house before the frost to overwinter there, a multi-year keeping is not possible.

When the seeds ripen in autumn, the hussar button is used up.

The hussar button does not tolerate frost

The hussar button does not tolerate frost at all. Therefore you are allowed to use the bowls or Window boxes(€ 7.99 at Amazon *) Do not put them outside in the spring, when there are guaranteed no further frosts to be expected.

Wait until after the Ice Saints move to the balcony or terrace. Then the probability of recurring night frosts is very low. Alternatively, you can use the hussar button to place the planters on the balcony during the day and bring them into the house at night.

If the hussar buttons are to grow in the rock garden or flowerbed, do not plant them out before the end of May. Only if you live in an area with very mild temperatures should you think about planting out.

Sow instead of overwintering again

If you want to decorate the balcony and terrace with the thankful summer flowers every year, you have to buy new plants from the dealer in the spring.
