When to plant velvet? It’s not always the best solution
Sowing velvet to the ground is best carried out no earlier than at the end of April or early May. You just have to be aware of the fact that the plant tolerates cold very badly, so in the event of a sudden cooling it may not survive. Therefore, when the weather can be uncertain, it is better to get it over and first sow them to pots kept at home. You will have more control over cultivation, and the right conditions will make nothing to do.
