How to grow Busy lizzy 'Tutu'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Tutu is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.1 and 6.5 as Tutu likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Tutu from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.06 inches (0.15 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between Busy lizzy plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 24°C / 75°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Tutu about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Tutu

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Tutu is a tender plant.
