The flowers appear in small clusters above softly textured, grey-green, heart-shaped foliage and gradually develop lavender tones as they mature.<\/li>\n<li>Its delicate coloring makes Tweedia an excellent addition to cottage gardens, flower borders, containers and cutting gardens. The long-lasting flowers also work beautifully in soft-colored floral arrangements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Growing Tweedia in Kuwait<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For Kuwait\u2019s growing conditions, transplant Tweedia from October through February. Autumn planting allows the plant to establish during the mild season and provides the best opportunity for prolonged flowering.<br \/>\n<strong>Choose a location with:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Morning sun or approximately six hours of gentle sunlight<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Afternoon shade, particularly from spring onward<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Light, fertile and well-draining soil<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Protection from strong wind<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Consistent moisture without waterlogging<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; A small support for its scrambling stems<\/li>\n<li>In climates with hot summers, afternoon shade is recommended. Wind and intense rain can also damage the plant\u2019s delicate stems and flowers.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid placing Tweedia against a heat-reflecting wall or in an exposed rooftop location receiving intense afternoon sun.<br \/>\n<strong>Watering and Feeding<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Water when the upper 2\u20133 cm of growing medium begins to dry. Do not allow a newly transplanted seedling to dry completely, but avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.<\/li>\n<li>Feed lightly during active growth and flowering. Excessive nitrogen can produce soft, elongated foliage at the expense of flowers.<\/li>\n<li>Pinching and Support<\/li>\n<li>Pinch the active growing tip while the plant is young to encourage branching and create a fuller plant. Provide a small stake, ring support or narrow trellis as the stems lengthen.<\/li>\n<li>Tweedia is better described as a scrambling or lightly twining plant, not as a vigorous climbing vine. It requires only modest support and should not be marketed as a plant capable of covering a large pergola.<br \/>\n<strong>Flowering and Cutting<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Tweedia can be grown as a decorative garden plant or cut flower. When harvesting:<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Cut stems early in the morning.<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Wear gloves because the stems release milky latex sap.<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Avoid contact between the sap and the skin or eyes.<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Keep cut flowers away from young children and pets.<\/li>\n<li>Remove developing seed pods if continuous flowering is preferred. Leaving some pods allows the plant to produce silky, wind-dispersed seeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweedia Blue Star is a rare and elegant flowering plant producing delicate sky-blue, star-shaped blooms above soft grey-green foliage.
