With its bright carpet of flowers, the hussar button not only spans beds in a wonderful way, but also creates lush splendor in balcony boxes. Since not every plant harmonizes with it, we have put together the best possible combinations for the hussar button for you.
What factors should you consider when combining hussar buttons?
So that the combination of the hussar button becomes a visual enrichment, you should consider the following factors:
- Flower color: yellow or orange
- Flowering time: June to October
- Location requirements: sunny, humus-rich and nutrient-rich soil
- Growth height: 25 to 30 cm
Due to its low height, the hussar button should preferably be planted in the foreground of beds. His combination partners can support him. But companion plants that grow to a similar height can also be considered.
The yellow to orange flowers of the hussar button look wonderful in combination with red or purple flowers of other plants. However, you can also ensure harmony and combine similar flower colors with each other.
When combining the hussar button, also consider its location requirements. Its immediate neighbors should also like it sunny and need a nutrient-rich subsoil. A combination with, for example, Mediterranean plants is therefore unsuitable, as they usually prefer dry and barren locations to grow.
