Successfully growing the Robustica cultivar begins with choosing a suitable location. Although it is a highly tolerant perennial, it thrives best in soils that can retain moisture. Loamy and humous soil is ideal. If you have heavy clay soil in your garden, lighten it during planting by mixing in compost. The location can range from sunny to shady, but a direct correlation applies: the more sun you give the plant, the more moisture it will need. In dry, scorching heat without watering, the leaves could dry out and lose their fresh green color. Plant the plants so that the root collar of the seedling is at ground level, and water thoroughly after planting so the roots merge with the surrounding soil.
Care throughout the year primarily consists of maintaining its aesthetic appearance, as 'Robustica' requires no support and does not suffer from pests. The flowers, which appear from June to August in a lime-yellow color, are suitable for cutting into vases and for drying. If you do not harvest the flowers, it is advisable to cut the plant back more radically after flowering. Do not be afraid to remove the flower stalks and unsightly leaves low above the ground. The plant will very quickly sprout again and form a compact mound of fresh leaves, which will remain beautiful until autumn. This cut will also prevent excessive self-seeding, for which lady's mantle is known. In the spring, we only perform a clean-up cut, where we remove everything that has dried up over the winter.
Customers often ask about the possibility of growing it on balconies and terraces. Yes, lady's mantle can be successfully grown even in a sufficiently large pot. Due to its upright growth and height of around 60 cm, it looks very elegant in containers, whether alone or in combination with annuals. When growing in containers, make sure the substrate never completely dries out, but at the same time, water must not sit in the saucer. Regarding wintering, the plant is fully frost-resistant in the open ground and will survive even very harsh winters without covering. If grown in a container, it is advisable to move it against the house wall for the winter or insulate the container so it doesn't freeze from all sides; the plant itself, however, handles frost excellently.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
