Cultivation:
Orange Gnome is a low growing perennial that is well suited for
planting in rock gardens or used as a border.
Plant Orange Gnome in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil.
It tolerates
nearly all soil types. For optimum growth this small perennial
prefers to have consistently moist soil.
Propagation:
Orange Gnome seed can be started in a cold frame or greenhouse in early spring
and moved outdoors after danger of frost has passed. For much
quicker growth purchase pre-started plants at your local Garden
Center. Once established plants may be divided in spring.
