Beard flower in a bed or bucket: this is how you combine them perfectly

What factors should be considered when combining the beard flower?

When combining the beard flower, consider the following factors in order to ultimately achieve visible visual pleasure:

• heyday: August to October
• Location Requirements: sunny, rather nutrient-poor and well-drained soil
• growth height: up to 100 cm
