One year. Well suited as a green manure.
Beautiful and flowers a lot. Competes against weeds, loosens compact soil, collects nitrogen and stimulates a good microclimate. It develops quickly and in a super short time covers the bare earth. Can be used for multiple purposes. If sown between crops, it can be used to keep pests at bay.
The nectar-rich flowers attract flower flies whose larvae eat aphids and other pests. If honeywort is buried shortly after flowering, it can be used as a green manure as the plant releases the nitrogen it has accumulated throughout the summer. Can also be buried in early spring. Bredsås. Spread thinly and evenly. Cover lightly with a hoe. Thrives in sun to partial shade. A small amount of fertilizer will help the plant develop. Keep the soil moist after sowing until germination has started.
