Temperatures Purple monkeyflowerSole pieno
Let's grow the The Purple monkeyflower in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. Perennial plants mainly have a spring and summer development. During the coldest months of the year the aerial part can completely dry out, to come up the year after.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 Purple monkeyflower with non-woven fabric.

Care Purple monkeyflower
The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. This plant in the summer assumes a pink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 60 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants are perennial herbs.

Feed Purple monkeyflower
In the spring let’s fertilize perennials periodically, using a specific fertilizer for flowering plants, to add to the irrigating water, every 20-25 days; or we can spread a slow release fertilizer near the plants every 3-4 months.

Irrigation Purple monkeyflowerTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 1-2 weeks can be enough using 2-3 glasses of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants.

Adversity Purple monkeyflower
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 Purple monkeyflower
We suggest growing these plants in a slightly damp substratum, which isn’t too drained.
