What is Adenophora scabra and how to grow it

1. What is

Adenophora is a perennial herb that can grow to about 40-80 cm. Its root is carrot-shaped, the stem is unbranched, and has some soft hairs on it, while some are hairless. Its leaves are elliptical or narrowly ovate, and the base is wedge-shaped or blunt. The tips of the leaves are slightly pointed and the edges of the leaves are slightly serrated.

2. Planting Method

Usually it is cultivated by seed propagation, which can be done in April in spring and before freezing in winter. Prepare the garden for cultivation, place its seeds in the trench, and cover with a layer of soil 1-1.5 cm thick, press it slightly, and water the soil to make it moist.

3. Daily Management

After it grows seedlings, it needs to be weeded and the soil loosened appropriately. When the seedlings grow to a height of 3 cm, thinning out is necessary. During their growth process, appropriate fertilizer needs to be applied to promote stronger growth of the seedlings. Human and animal manure is usually used as fertilizer, but care should be taken to apply fertilizer thinly and frequently.
