The yellow jester flower, which is actually native to Chile, has long since conquered our gardens. Here everything about the location and care of the flower.
The bright perennial plant is not only suitable for conventional bed planting, you can also keep it as a container plant and use it on the edge of the garden pond without any problems. You can even use some varieties in the shallow water zones of your garden pond (a water depth of up to 10 centimeters is important here). From time to time, a blue jester flower is also offered in the garden trade, which forms a great contrast to the yellow-colored variety, as well as hybrid varieties in red, orange, white and multicolored flowering varieties.
But first everything important about the location and care of the yellow jester flower.
Select location
Yellow juggler flowers prefer nutrient-rich, moist soil conditions in full sun to moderately light partial shade. They achieve a growth height of up to 40 centimeters and always reward their gardener with lush flowers.
Hint:
You can easily produce a little waterlogging with juggler flowers, especially if you keep the flowers in the tub. Irrigation depths of up to 10 centimeters do not harm this variety, especially in the hot summer months.
Care properly for yellow jester flower
» Propagation:
The usually annual juggler's flower is certainly one of the easy-care garden perennials and multiplies every autumn by self-sowing. However, it is important that you do not cut off the stems at the end of the blossom, so that the yellow jester flower can multiply itself.
» Winter protection/pruning:
At the same time, the independent rotting of the stems ensures better winter protection. Pruning, if necessary at all, is still easily possible in early spring.
» Fertilize:
Furthermore, you don't have to supply the juggler flower with fertilizer, as long as it can draw enough nutrients from the soil. Otherwise, you can apply minimal compound fertilizer if necessary.
