Propagation Methods

Cultivation Methods

Watering: Although it is relatively drought-tolerant, it is recommended to water thoroughly during the flowering period. Be careful to prevent the soil from becoming too dry.
 - Fertilization: Use slow-release fertilizers to provide nutrients during the growing and flowering periods. Be cautious, as excessive fertilizer use can actually hinder growth.
 - Pruning: Removing dead leaves or flowers to maintain a neat appearance promotes healthier growth.

Uses in the Garden
Due to its beautiful flowers and rapid growth, 'French Tudor' is well-suited for various locations such as gardens, border areas, and flower beds. When planted in mass, it creates an even more spectacular effect. It offers visual pleasure as it can bloom with flowers of various colors all at once.

Important Pests and Diseases & Control Methods - Diseases: Leaf blight, which primarily affects the leaves, may occur. It is important to remove diseased parts quickly, and in some cases, fungicides may be used preventively.
 - Pests: Pests such as aphids or moth larvae may appear. Aphids can be controlled through periodic water washing or the use of natural predators, while moth larvae can be removed from leaves early or organic pesticides can be used.

Proper management prevents pests and diseases, and regular observation and measures can keep plants healthy.
