Crepis bursifolia aka Italian Hawksbeard

Italian Hawksbeard requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

Italian Hawksbeard should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Italian Hawksbeard prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Italian Hawksbeard to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
