Plant sack flower as a hedge

You can choose to design the entire hedge with sacred flowers or add splashes of color with individual flowers. Make sure that all plants in your hedge have the same demands on the location and require similar care.

How do I plant a hedge with pouch flowers?

The best time to plant a hedge with sacrum flowers is spring from March to May. Before planting, water all flowers thoroughly and add some well-rotted compost to the planting hole. Place the bag flowers a little more densely than is recommended for solitary plants. This way, your hedge will quickly become nice and tight. After planting, water the hedge well.

How do I care for a hedge with bag flowers?

A well-rooted sacflower can tolerate prolonged drought significantly better than waterlogging. Therefore, you should only water the hedge regularly in the first few weeks. Later this is only necessary when the floor has dried up. Use fertilizer very sparingly. In late fall, cut the hedge back about a third.

The saccharose hedge in winter

Most of the varieties of the sacrum are hardy up to about - 10 ° C. At least in the first year, you should protect your new hedge from frost with leaves or brushwood. In an area with very low temperatures or icy winds, winter protection is also recommended later. Separate frozen shoots cut off in spring.
