A note from PlantMom

White mignonette is fairly resistant to disease and typically not highly susceptible. Nevertheless, it can be affected by pests and diseases present in its surroundings. These issues are usually not serious. For care, this plant needs moderate maintenance. It should be pruned regularly to preserve a neat appearance and support healthy growth. Fertilizing can also encourage flowering. White mignonette is suitable for people with outdoor spaces like a garden or patio and does not require much gardening experience. It may demand more attention if grown indoors.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Reseda Undata.

Light

White mignonette comes from sunny, open habitats and does best in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is known for its sun-loving nature.

Temperature

White mignonette can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can raise the chance of White mignonette dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can improve the plant's survival rate.

Fertilizer

When most of White mignonette's blooms have opened to full size, resume fertilizing. During the period of peak bloom, fertilize every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Then, once White mignonette begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there's no need to feed the plant when it cannot produce any more blooms.
