Water

Water: Originating from temperate regions, burnet prefers moderate moisture and consistent soil hydration without waterlogging. Watering should occur weekly, ideal for outdoor gardening where natural rainfall complements well-draining soil, minimizing excess moisture buildup.

Propagation: Propagation of burnet can be achieved through seeds, division, or root cuttings. Key factors include adequate light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Stratification is necessary for seeds. For division, choose a healthy clump in spring or fall, divide, replant at original depth, and ensure consistent moisture.
