Burnet 'Purple Tails' is essentially a plant of wet meadows, which is why choosing the right location is the key to success. It will thrive best in the sun or in partial shade, where the soil has the ability to retain moisture. The ideal soil is loamy to clayey, rich in humus. Avoid places with overly sandy and quickly drying soil, where the plant would suffer from drought stress. Before planting, loosen the soil well and work in mature compost. Plant the seedlings at a spacing of approximately 50 cm apart (about 3 to 5 plants per square meter).
During the season, the most important care is watering. Burnet loves water, so do not let it dry out on hot summer days. If the plant were to stand in overly dry soil, it could be susceptible to powdery mildew. In such a case, the best solution is to cut the plant back more radically; do not be afraid of this, it will very willingly and quickly resprout with fresh green leaves. Fertilizing is not very demanding; it is enough to add a layer of compost in the spring or use an organic fertilizer for perennials. Given its height of 150 to 200 cm, it is an impressive plant, which, however, usually does without support if it has enough light and a sturdier stem. The flowers are suitable for cutting into vases, where they will last more than a week, and you can also dry them for winter decorations.
As for wintering, Burnet 'Purple Tails' is fully frost-hardy (down to -34 °C) and in our conditions does not require any special winter protection. In autumn or early spring, it is enough to remove the dry above-ground parts just above the ground. If you are considering growing it in containers, it is possible, but with certain limitations. Given the height of the plant, you must choose a large and stable pot so that it does not tip over in the wind. Watering will also be crucial – the substrate in a container dries out much faster than in open ground, and therefore you will have to water it daily in the summer.

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.
