Properly care for the sacrum

What you need:

• Winter protection

Sacred flowers are small, upright shrubs that mostly bloom blue or purple, but sometimes also pink. Depending on the variety, these shrubs bloom as early as the beginning of summer or not until late summer and into autumn.

Caring for the sacflower

• A sack flower is happy with normal garden soil and should ideally be in a sunny to partially shaded location. However, you can also put a sack flower in a large container to place it on top of the terrace or to cultivate the balcony. It is important that the shrub is protected, for example in front of a wall or the wall of a house. As a rule, these plants cannot tolerate too much moisture and shade.
• A sackling is best left alone, so that its blossoms come into their own. Pay attention to the required space, in total such a shrub will be one to one and a half meters high and just as wide.

• The best time to plant is from October to April, but only when it is not freezing.
• A sack flower needs very little water, so you should only water a container plant when the top layer of the soil is dry. In the garden, the plant usually gets by with rainwater, so you don't even need to water. However, it is very sensitive to waterlogging, so you should make sure that the soil is well drained.

Flowering, pruning and winter protection of the California lilac

• A sacflower always blooms on the annual wood, i.e. the shoots that formed anew before they bloomed. The many blue flowers of this shrub will then attract many bees and bumblebees.
• In spring, you should prune the shrub heavily so that many flowers can form again. Overall, you can easily cut away up to two thirds of its total height. If, on the other hand, you don't cut at all, the shrub may soon stop blooming.
• The sacrum is somewhat hardy, but winter protection for the root area is still recommended. To do this, you can spread a thick layer of leaves or straw or spruce branches around the plant.
• Put potted plants in a cold, but frost-free room for the winter months. Evergreen varieties should be in a light place, with the deciduous varieties it can also be a dark room. In winter, water a sack flower in a bucket just enough so that it does not dry out and get used to it Slowly return the plant to being outdoors in spring by placing it in the shade first place.
