How to grow Gold Of Pleasure for the first time

8steps

Start with Gold Of Pleasure as a simple annual crop for beginners.

  1. 1

    What you'll need

    Gold Of Pleasure seeds, a garden plot or container, and basic gardening tools like a trowel.

  2. 2

    Best time to plant

    Plant Gold Of Pleasure in spring after the last frost, when soil temperatures are around 10°C (50°F).

  3. 3

    Soil and container prep

    Ensure your soil is well-draining with a pH of 7.5–8. Amend heavy clay or sandy soils to improve drainage.

  4. 4

    Sowing or transplanting

    Direct sow seeds 1 cm deep, spaced about 20 cm apart in rows 30 cm apart. Alternatively, start seeds indoors and transplant when they have two true leaves.

  5. 5

    First two weeks

    Keep the soil consistently moist during germination. Thin seedlings to ensure plants are not overcrowded once they reach 15 cm tall.

  6. 6

    Ongoing care

    Water regularly, especially in dry periods, but avoid overwatering. Remove weeds by hand to prevent competition for nutrients and water.

  7. 7

    Harvest or pruning

    Prune plants back after flowering to encourage new growth and prevent self-seeding. Harvest seeds when they turn brown and dry on the plant.

  8. 8

    Common mistakes
