When planting, you should choose a slightly acidic sandy loam with good drainage, after deep ploughing and finely crushing, and planting with a raised border. Each border is planted in two rows with a row spacing of 35~ 40 cm, the plant spacing should be 30 cm, so that the density is moderate, can prevent the leaves from covering each other, more sure about flowering.
