silver spurflower

Silver Spurflower plants should be watered deeply once a week to ensure that the soil is evenly hydrated. During the hot summer months, it may be necessary to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Placing a layer of mulch around the base of the plant can help to keep the soil moist, conserving water and reducing the need for frequent irrigation. Do not let the soil dry out completely, as this will impair plant health and could cause leaf drop. In the winter months, reduce watering to once a month. Withhold water entirely during drought conditions.

Silver spurflower thrives in full sun to part shade when planted in well-drained soil. The best time for sunlight is between 6 to 8 hours of direct sun per day. Silver Spurflower prefers morning sun and some afternoon shade. Therefore, if possible, orient the plant towards the east to give it the optimal amount of sunlight daily. Plants grown in too much shade may not flower and will have a less compact, spindly growth habit.

Silver spurflower typically requires minimal pruning. Generally, it's best to wait until late spring/early summer to start any pruning. Remove dead, damaged, or weak branches, as well as any flower heads that are past their prime. Prune back overgrown stems to open the plant and give it a more attractive shape. And, if necessary, to help control the size of the silver spurflower, prune it back again in late summer.
