The night beauty, when grown in the garden, is distinguished by its undemanding nature, so it is relatively easy to care for it.
Where is the best place to plant mirabilis
Mirabilis grows best in fertile clay or loamy soil containing lime, so acidic soils must be limed before planting. Mirabilis does not like excess moisture, so do not plant it in a lowland or on wet soils.
If you plant two different varieties of Mirabilis side by side, then next year you can see the most unexpected combination of flowers.
Place and soil
This is usually done in May-June. Plants prefer the most illuminated place in the garden with fertile soil, they do not tolerate only acidic soils.
How to care for Mirabilis
In order for the plant to bloom on time, it needs abundant watering, which is carried out from time to time. During a long dry period, you need to water such flowers from 1 to 3 times in 7 days.
Do I need to remove Mirabilis for the winter
Mirabilis with its tubers is very similar to dahlia, so you need to store them as well. In autumn, to keep this plant in your garden, you need to either collect the seeds or dig up the tubers and store them without any care until next spring.
