Brunners can be planted both in sunny areas and in the shade. They prefer light, moist soils. It is best to plant a brunner in early autumn or spring so that it has time to take root and grow new leaves.

How to plant

Planting large-leaved brunners is usually carried out simultaneously with the division of the plant. The faded bush is dug up, the ground part is cut off, the roots are cleaned of the soil by soaking them in a bucket of water, and then the bush is divided into parts, following the natural collapse of the rhizome.

Planting and caring for a brunner

Soil: Clay, moderately moist to moist. Watering: only during a prolonged drought. Top dressing: not needed. Reproduction: variegated forms - only vegetatively: by dividing a bush or rhizome, the species brunner can be propagated by seeds, subsequently it gives self-sowing.
