Sow maiden in the green

The undemanding maiden in the green thrives on almost all garden soils, provided that it is as sunny as possible. The sunnier and drier the location, the more beautiful and lush the flowering will ultimately be. A humus, moderately nutrient-rich and rather dry soil is ideal, and the plant also prefers warm summers. In rather humid and cool early summer it can happen that the buds wither and the maiden in the green does not bloom.

Sow maiden in the country directly in the open air

the sowing the maiden in the green is basically very simple:

• Sow the maiden in the countryside in March / April.
• Sowing is still possible between the beginning of May and the end of June.
• The sowing is carried out on carefully prepared and well loosened soil.
• The earth crumbs are crumbled as finely as possible.
• Spread the seeds broadly
• and press it lightly.
• Sow on several dates with an interval of two to three weeks,
• because then you can enjoy the bloom longer.
• The seeds germinate within 10 to 20 days.
• Separate the seedlings at a distance of approx. 10 centimeters.

Sow in autumn

In addition, sowing is possible as early as September, with these specimens blooming particularly early. You can ensure a longer flowering period by re-sowing in spring. If self-sowing is not desired, the seed pods must be removed in good time.

Jungfer in the country doesn't need a lot of maintenance

Otherwise, the maiden in the country does not need any further care, except for additional watering in the case of longer periods of drought. A fertilization or a pruning is usually not necessary either. The first flowers appear eight to ten weeks after sowing.
