Growing and Care Tips

• Exposure and soil: plant in full sun in well-drained and fertile soil. Velvet Queen prefers soil rich in organic matter.
• Sowing and planting: rapid germination in 7 to 14 days at favorable temperatures. For cold regions, prioritize indoor sowing and then transplanting after the last frosts, or directly into the ground once the risk of frost has passed.
• Spacing and support: space plants approximately 60 cm apart to promote uniform growth and support tall stems with a stake if necessary.
• Watering and feeding: water regularly in summer, without overdoing it, and enrich the soil at the beginning of growth with a balanced fertilizer to support abundant flowering.
• Maintenance: remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms and prevent humidity-related diseases during rainy periods.
