Care Guide for Hawkweeds

Every week

Water

Water: Originating from well-drained habitats, hawkweeds thrives in moderate moisture levels and benefits from weekly watering. It is not drought-tolerant nor humidity-loving. Natural rainfall can supplement watering during the active growing season when its water demand peaks.

Propagation: Propagation of hawkweeds involves seed sowing, division, and root cuttings. Success hinges on well-drained soil, moderate sunlight, and temperate conditions. Division should be done carefully in spring or fall, separating offsets and replanting immediately. Maintain consistent moisture for establishment.
