Glumicalyx goseloides

The Glumicalyx goseloides is an amazing plant species that has an attractive deep purple flower. Favored for its delicate beauty, this flower blooms in both winter and summer, adding a startling contrast of color to the landscape. Interestingly, it has a tendency to self-seed, creating sparsely-distributed abundance in the wild. Its glossy, evergreen leaves are also a delight, as they tend to reflect light and attract butterflies. Drought tolerant, this species is recommended for use in rock gardens and pathways. It's no wonder why the Glumicalyx goseloides is highly prized for its adaptability and colorful flair.

watering

Glumicalyx goseloides is a drought-tolerant plant species that requires minimal water. During the summer growing season, it needs only a regular, light watering every 7 to 10 days. In the winter months, water the plant only sparingly, about once every 2 to 4 weeks. Before watering, always check the soil to make sure that it is completely dry before adding water, as overwatering can lead to root rot.

sunlight

Glumicalyx goseloides is a plant species native to South East Asia, growing in semi-shaded areas with partial sun exposure. During the summer months, plants should receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During colder months, glumicalyx can handle up to 8 hours of direct sunlight, and generally prefers less in the wintertime. Additionally, glumicalyx are more shade-tolerant, preferring cool to mid-level shade in the hottest times of the day. In the winter, glumicalyx goseloides can suffer from too much direct winter sun, but if kept in a cool, shaded area, they can tolerate lower light levels.

pruning

Glumicalyx goseloides should be pruned annually and lightly for best results. Pruning should take place in early summer when it finishes blooming. Removal of any dead or damaged branches should be done first. Spent flowering stems can also be removed. Then, selective pruning of branches that are growing out of bounds should be done, as well as careful thinning of the shrub’s foliage to promote air circulation and light penetration. Pruning should be done with sharp garden clippers or lopping shears. The finished shape should be natural looking.
