betony

Betony (Stachys officinalis 'Pink Cotton Candy') should be watered freely during growth, meaning you should water it until the soil is damp but not soggy. Watering should be done 2-3 times per week, depending on the weather conditions. During the rainy season, you can reduce the frequency of watering to once per week. However, when it is hot and dry, you will need to water more often. Make sure you avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. The best way to determine if the plant needs water is to check the top 1-2 inches of soil, when it looks dry, it's time to water.

Betony (Stachys officinalis 'Pink Cotton Candy') should be grown in full sun for optimal health and blooms. For best results, this plant species should receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. If grown in part shade, the plant may not produce as many flowers and will likely have reduced foliage. Likewise, too much direct sunlight can lead to sunburn or drying of the foliage. In warmer climates, afternoon shade is recommended to prevent sunburn.

Betony (Stachys officinalis 'Pink Cotton Candy') is a flowering semi-evergreen shrub that prefers a sunny spot to grow. It can grow up to 2 feet tall and wide, and produces bright pink flower spikes throughout the summer and fall. Pruning is generally not required for this plant, but light trimming can be done in late spring to help promote more dense foliage growth as well as flowering. Trimming should focus on removing dead or diseased stems and cutting back overcrowded or out-of-shape branches. It is also a good idea to pinch off spent blooms regularly to encourage re-blooming. Taking the time to prune betony will help ensure that it stays healthy and attractive all season long.
