Planting time

Care
- Over time, the soil loses some important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted every two years in spring into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil. - A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time.

The white flowers appear in May. These are pleasantly fragrant.
