Krasse, Busk-, Tom Thumb, bl f

Colorful and popular summer flower in yellow, orange and red. The variety produces compact plants, great as a border plant, in balcony boxes, beds and rockeries. The flowers can be eaten, decorative in salads. Unripe seeds can be used as capers. Thrives well in lean and well-drained soil. In overly nutritious soil, the leaves develop at the expense of the flowers. Water regularly and provide little nutrition. Place the seeds in lukewarm water for 1 day and they will germinate better.
