Godetia can be planted in open ground twice a year - in the spring and before the onset of cold weather.

How godetia blooms

The flowers are large, up to 10 cm in diameter, bell-shaped or cup-shaped, collected in inflorescences at the ends of the shoots. Simple flowers have four petals, while double flowers form a wavy “skirt”. Flowering is abundant from July to

October. Godetia looks most impressive in group plantings, when several plants are planted nearby.

Is it possible to plant Godetia in a pot

The buds of the plant are extremely attractive, and at the peak of flowering they literally cover the entire bush, making it difficult to even see the foliage.

However, it is worth noting that even without inflorescences, godetia is no less impressive due to its graceful long leaves. You can grow such a plant in a pot.

What Godetia likes   

Godetia requires sunny places. She agrees to grow in partial shade, and the flowers last even longer.

But in the shade you need to plant seedlings more spaciously so that the bushes are well ventilated.

If the shadow is dense, the plants will stretch out and lose their compactness.

How to collect your seeds

The seeds are collected in boxes. They need to be cut off when they begin to change color and darken.

Then the boxes need to be dried a little.

Only after this can they be opened and the seeds shake out.
