Are you feeling sad because you have no idea which flowers to plant in your shaded garden? Well, my friends, I’ve struggled with that for years too. My charming yard is often overshadowed by towering trees. Every plant I attempted to grow withered away.
That was until I discovered a hero named Twinleaf. It has truly brought happiness to my garden. This flower is a real example of how beauty can thrive even in the shadows. I know you can’t wait to discover the interesting things about this plant and learn how to grow it.
Hurry up, the clock is ticking! Make yourself a cappuccino and get ready for a new gardening adventure!
Please Pay Attention To This Handsome Boy
When I first saw the Twinleaf, it was definitely love at first sight. I can’t tell you how happy I was when I went to buy the seeds. Its appearance is truly eye-catching. Those white flowers resemble a butterfly (ahh, isn’t that beautiful).
In the center of the flower, there is a little yellow going on, like a small bee. It blooms in early spring, making the garden very aesthetic, which means that it’s an excellent decorative plant. The next time you take a break from a hard day’s work, grab your favorite book and enjoy the view.
Let’s Find Out How To Grow This Cutie
I know you are most interested in this part. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a professional to grow this flower, this beauty is really easy to maintain and plant.
Here’s what you should do:
- Prepare the soil for planting! I’ve already mentioned the location, but if you have trees, they will fit in perfectly if you plant them next to them. After choosing the perfect place, gently place the seeds in the ground and bury them.
- Water it well. After you’ve completed the first part, water the soil thoroughly. Be careful not to overdo it.
- Feed it! When we’re hungry, we’re not ourselves, right (we become totally crazy)? Add some organic compost to this plant to boost its growth, but don’t overdo it (your plants could go through the walls).
I know you want to see white flowers in the garden as soon as possible. You can also add some organic compost to help it grow.
- Remove the weeds! They will prevent the healthy growth of your plant. So, visit and help your friend every day by weeding. Don’t let those jealous enemies destroy your efforts!
- Watch out for pests! They can also be a huge problem. If you see that they have attacked the flower, you can remove caterpillars or crawlers by hand (unless you’re squeamish). If you are, you can always ask for help.
- Give it a trim! If you notice that some leaves are damaged or dry, you can trim them off to stimulate the growth of new ones as soon as possible. You can really have fun with this.
Feeling like a hairdresser? Just make sure not to give your Twinleaf a bad haircut, or it might get mad at you!
Oh No, Beware Of Their Biggest Enemies, Rabbits!
Are you a fan of adorable rabbits? I mean, they’re cute, but if you want your flowers to thrive, make sure there are no jumpers around. These little cuties can do a lot of damage. To them, this flower is like a tasty treat.
They love to nibble on the leaves. I even once chased a rabbit around the garden all day (my neighbors thought I was totally crazy). But they were faster than me (of course). Here you can discover an interesting trick on how to get rid of rabbits in your garden.
We’ve come to the end of another adventure! Get the seeds right away and plant them as soon as possible. Believe me when I say that they beautified the whole space for me. Everyone complimented my garden.
When my friends came to visit, they would immediately take out their phones and start taking pictures of the famous Twinleaf (they don’t even notice me anymore). All that’s left is to enjoy the beautiful view that will take your breath away every time.
