Svetlana je počela biznis sa ovom biljkom, a danas zaradi 472.000 dinara na njoj
Nevense smatra jednom od najlepših i najizdržljivijih uzgojnih biljaka , a karakteriše ga intenzivno žut cvet i dug period cvetanja , od ranog proleća do kasne jeseni i prvih mrazeva. Ova biljka voli toplinu i sunčane položaje , dobro podnosi sušu, ali za pravilan rast potrebna joj je voda. Najbolje uspeva u umereno toploj i umereno vlažnoj klimi , dok na siromašnom i suvom tlu cvet ostaje manji i manje mesnat.
