Hacquetia

Synonym: Dondia

Description

This kind includes/understands only one species of small rhizomateuse hardy perennial. The plant forms a tuft, it pushes in a wild state in the wooded areas of Europe. She thus likes the fresh and shaded situations. It is possible to plant some in a garden, either by recreating its medium of predilection, or while placing it in rubble or in a boggy solid mass.

This plant thus prefers a wet and fresh ground, but drained rather well, preferably acid.

The Hacquetia is appreciated for its early yellow flowers which last a long time, surrounded by bractées green.

The multiplication is possible by division of tuft in spring or cuttings of roots in winter.

Attention with the gastropods which eat the young sheets in spring.
