How to keep Astragalus Leontinus.
Light
Tyrolean milk vetch is a herbaceous perennial that favors sunny sites and is native to open habitats, frequently occurring in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
Temperature
Tyrolean milk vetch can tolerate a wide spectrum of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by particular combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended stretches of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as prolonged high temperatures, can raise the chances of Tyrolean milk vetch dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can increase the plant's survival rate.
Fertilizer
Typically one spring fertilizer application is enough for Tyrolean milk vetch, although several feedings can maximize growth. Fertilize once every month to a month and a half. Feeding improves the leaves’ appearance and function, helping maintain even color and a healthy texture. It also promotes root development and nutrient uptake for long-term plant health.
