Water: Mignonettes, native to the Mediterranean, thrives in dry, warm climates with well-drained soil. It exhibits moderate drought tolerance and benefits from weekly watering to mimic natural rainfall. During active growth periods, more frequent watering is essential to support its flowering cycle.

Propagation: Mignonettes is propagated primarily by seeds. Successful germination requires good light, temperatures between 15-20°C (59-68°F), and well-draining soil with consistent moisture. Sow seeds in early spring and be patient, as germination is slow. Follow specific steps for optimal results.
