Temperatures TwinspurSole pieno
Let's grow the The Twinspur in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. These plants shouldn't be grown in the garden during the cold period; in autumn the plants usually perish, and should be eradicated from the ground.These plants don't like the cold weather during this time of year. If the minimum night-time temperatures are very harsh it is best to cover the The Twinspur with non-woven fabric.

Care Twinspur
The Twinspur has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the summer assumes a pink colouring; it is large in size and can reach 25 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants are used in rock gardens.

Feed Twinspur
Before placing the annuals, let’s enrich the soil with a small dose of organic fertilizer or slow release granular chemical fertilizer; during the spring we should use a specific fertilizer for flowering plants to be mixed with the irrigating water, to be used every 20-30 days.

Irrigation TwinspurTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Twinspur every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, we can interrupt watering, and let the plants perish.

Adversity Twinspur
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Twinspur
They prefer dissolved soils, with an optimal drainage.
