Frankton's Saltbush

Frankton's Saltbush should be watered sparingly. When watering, make sure the soil is completely dry before doing so. Allow the top half-inch to 1 inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Water once or twice a week in warm weather and once a month, or less, in cool weather. Make sure the soil is well-drained and they're not in standing water, to ensure the roots aren't damaged. Water deeply and allow the water to penetrate to the plant's root system. Water in the early morning for best results.

Frankton's Saltbush needs full sun or at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. It does best in well-draining soils with low to moderate organic matter. The plant tolerates extreme temperatures, making it an ideal choice for gardeners in arid and hot climates. It is also drought tolerant, making it an ideal choice for those areas prone to long periods of little rainfall.

Frankton's Saltbush is a resilient drought-tolerant shrub native to Australia. It is widely grown for its ornamental value and ability to survive even in difficult environmental conditions. When it comes to pruning, it should be done in the late spring or early summer. Regular pruning is essential to maintain the plant's shape, promote fresh growth, and prevent overcrowding. For pruning, the 2 main methods are heading and thinning. Heading, or trimming the ends of branches, promotes fresh growth and keeps the plant compact. Thinning, which involves removing entire branches, is done to create a more open, balanced canopy. In either case, make sure not to remove more than 1-third of the plant's live foliage in any 1 pruning session. Frankton's Saltbush should also be monitored for dead or damaged branches, which should be pruned as soon as they appear. This will help prevent the spread of any diseases. Additionally, pruning in the late summer or autumn can also help stimulate fresh growth for the following season.
