How to do it

Why is sharing important?

The root division is practically the simplest type of Multiplication at the sun hat. At the same time, it is very important so that the flowering force of the parent plant is maintained. Because the roots of the sun hat keep expanding. Without division, it becomes increasingly difficult for the plant to get the nutrients it needs.

This is how you proceed with the root division

Share only vigorous and healthy Perennials. To do this, expose the rhizome and prick with a sharp one spade a piece of the roots off.

Find a sunny and warm Location for severed root pieces. Dig a sufficiently large planting hole there, put some compost or horn shavings in it and

plants The roots as deep as they were before in the earth. Now water the roots well. Alternatively, you can plant the root pieces in a pot. But then they shouldn't be outside overwinter.

The essentials in brief:

• Root division possible very easily
• best time: autumn to winter
• do not share too often (every 3 - 4 years)
• Division stimulates optimal flower formation
• Provide partial plants with organic fertilizer
• water well
• young potted plants are not hardy

Tips & Tricks

If you split your sun hat every three to four years, you will always have optimal flowering plants. If you cannot use all of the perennials for your own garden, then give away young plants in the tub or offer them on a plant exchange.
