How to keep Dracocephalum Argunense.
Light
Argun dragonhead flourishes with plenty of light, taking in substantial sunlight each day for healthy development. During its growth phases it adapts well to moderate shade. Native to bright habitats, it can tolerate some shading but too much or too little light can hinder its growth.
Temperature
Argun dragonhead can tolerate a broad range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be constrained by various combinations of moisture and heat conditions. It grows best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can increase the risk of Argun dragonhead dying. In winter, protecting it from cold can improve its chances of survival.
Fertilizer
The best time to fertilize an Argun dragonhead is in early spring, as it comes out of dormancy and begins active growth. Fertilizing supplies essential nutrients for healthy growth. Although the Argun dragonhead has relatively low fertilizer requirements, an annual application can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting flowers.
