  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Don’t over-fertilise or waterlog.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Creamgold is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Creamgold needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Growing Creamgold from seed

Sow autumn and winter or transplant sets in spring in colder areas. Shade seeds until well germinated.

Aim to sow 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Creamgold about 28 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Creamgold

Creamgold is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
