Description

The wallflower variety 'Goliath Brown' is characterised by its deep brown flowers with yellow and orange undertones, which contrast strongly with the light green foliage. This unusual colour combination makes the wallflower a real eye-catcher in any garden.

This variety reaches a height of about 30 to 40 cm and has a bushy, upright growth habit. This makes it ideal for beds, borders, and as a focal point in the front row of flower borders.

Wallflowers have a rich history and were cultivated in European gardens as early as the Middle Ages. Originally from the Mediterranean region, they quickly became popular as ornamental plants throughout Europe. The plant is known for its attraction to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Sowing and care

Mehrjährige, häufig jedoch eher zweijährige Staude, die wunderschön im Frühling blüht. Vorkultur ab Mitte März im Haus oder Direktsaat ins Freiland ab Mitte Mai bis Juli möglich. Die Samen nur dünn mit Erde bedecken. Keimdauer ca. 14 Tage. Die Jungpflanzen sollten erst nach den letzten Nachtfrösten ins Freiland umziehen. Goldlack bevorzugt sehr warme, geschützte und sonnige Standorte. Er blüht erst im zweiten Jahr und ist nicht so winterhart. Man sollte ihn deswegen mit Reisig oder einem Vlies im Winter schützen.
Goldlack gehört zu den Kohlgewächsen und ist deswegen ebenso anfällig für die typischen Schädlinge.
