 - Fertilizer: It is recommended to use slow-release fertilizer in the spring, and it is beneficial to supplement with phosphorus and potassium after flowering.

Garden Use:

'Yellow Heaven' is beautiful on its own, but planting it harmoniously with other perennials can create an even more spectacular garden. Additionally, placing it on a terrace or near an entrance during the flowering period provides an excellent decorative effect.

Important Pests and Diseases & Control Methods:
 - Diseases: It may contract leaf blight or fungal diseases. To prevent this, spray fungicides in early spring or create a well-ventilated environment to suppress disease outbreaks. 2. Pests: Damage may occur from aphids or stem pests. If pests occur, control them using eco-friendly insecticides or, if necessary, general-purpose insecticides.
