Hawkbits plants generally prefer moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. To plant, prepare the area by turning the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm and mix in some compost. Position the plants, allowing for growth spread, then water thoroughly. Mulch around the base to retain moisture. Be aware, requirements may vary within species. Make sure to know the specific needs of your hawkbits species to achieve best results.
