Sowing instructions

Hypericum cerastioides "Silvana" seeds are sown in spring, preferably between February and April. You can either sow the seeds directly outdoors or pre-grow them indoors. Use a high-quality sowing soil and press the seeds lightly into the soil, as they are light germinators. The ideal germination temperature is around 18 to 22 degrees Celsius. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not too wet. Germination can take between two and four weeks, so be patient and look forward to the first tender little plants.

"Silvana" is a hardy perennial that comes back year after year. Cut off the faded flowers regularly to prolong the flowering period. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place so that they can germinate for several years.

Hypericum cerastioides "Silvana" prefers a sunny to semi-shady location. Make sure that the soil is well-drained, as waterlogging can damage the roots. In nutrient-poor soil, the plant is happy with occasional fertilizer applications in spring. It requires little care and is therefore also ideal for garden beginners.

Worth knowing

The plant is not only beautiful, but also useful: its dense leaves provide protection against weeds. It also attracts bees and butterflies, which contribute to the biodiversity of your garden. Hypericum cerastioides originates from the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia, where it thrives in rocky soils - hence its particular resilience.
