The period of planting the flower in the open ground isfor November-December, and by the spring there will appear small proleknuvshiesya petals. If the flower of the clover is grown by seedling method, the seeds should be sown in early March in the soil, consisting of 2 parts of the garden mix, 2 parts of humus and 1 part of sand. Seeds will begin to rise on the 10-19 day after sowing. Before sowing it is recommended to soak seeds in Agate or Epine, according to the instructions that are attached to these preparations. In this case, the sprouts must be strong and healthy. As soon as the sprouts appear, the boxes with them should be moved to a bright place or set the backlight. And then you should only follow the soil, so that it is not dry. After the appearance of one or two leaves, transplant each growth into a separate cup with a peat-humic substrate.
