Choosing the planting location

Incarvillées are sun-loving plants; they tolerate partial shade but bloom better when planted in full light facing south. They struggle with competition, which is why it is important to plant them in isolation and in groups.

They love very well-drained but rich and cool soils during the flowering period.

Planting method

Plant your roots of incarvilleas upright, with the stem facing upwards, and add pure sand to the planting. The top of your root should be covered with at least 8 to 10 cm of light soil. This will prevent your flowering plant from being snapped off at the collar by the first strong gust of wind. Hardy, only mulch it in very cold regions. In damp soil, we recommend removing your bulbs in October and replanting them in early April.
