Tragopogon pratensis, commonly known as Meadow Salsify or Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon, is a biennial plant in the Asteraceae family. It is native to Europe and has naturalized in many parts of North America. The plant is known for its yellow flowers that close by midday, hence the common name. It thrives in temperate climates and typically grows in meadows, grasslands, and along roadsides.
Meadow Salsify is relatively easy to care for. It prefers full sun and moderate temperatures. Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. The plant does well in average humidity levels and does not require special temperature conditions beyond what is typical for temperate climates.
تربة
Tragopogon pratensis prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged, as the plant prefers drier conditions.
سماد
This plant does not have high fertilizer requirements. If desired, a light application of a balanced fertilizer can be used during the growing season, but it is generally not necessary.
