How to keep Sesamoides Pygmaea.
Light
Rampion mignonette comes from bright, open habitats and does best in full sun. It can tolerate some partial shade but prefers direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is noted for its sun-loving character.
Temperature
Rampion mignonette is a plant native to areas with temperate climates. It prefers temperatures of 68 to 95 °F (20 to 35 ℃) and adapts well to seasonal changes. Depending on local climate conditions, advice on temperature management may be needed.
Fertilizer
When most of Rampion mignonette's blooms have opened to full size, resume fertilizing. Around the time the blooms are at peak output, apply fertilizer every three to four weeks, as weather permits. Then, once Rampion mignonette begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there is no need to fertilize when the plant can no longer produce more blooms.
