kalimeris

Kalimeris (Kalimeris yomena 'Shogun') should be watered regularly, but not overly wet. During the growing season, water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Once established, Kalimeris should be watered every 5 to 7 days. During the winter season, allow the top inch of soil to become dry before watering. Do not allow the plant to sit in soggy soil. Overly wet soil can cause plant root rot and other issues.

Kalimeris 'Shogun' is a long-blooming plant that thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It should not be planted in areas with shade or a mix of sun and shade, as this can affect its performance and flowering. Morning sun is preferred, while afternoon sun can potentially damage its delicate flowers and stems. If this plant is grown in an area with too much shade, it will not bloom to its full potential. Therefore, Kalimeris 'Shogun' should be planted in an area with full sun exposure and ample light for its growth.

Kalimeris (Kalimeris Yomena 'Shogun') should be pruned in the early spring before new growth begins. Light pruning of deadheading, removing any dead or dying stems and cutting back leggy growth can be beneficial. For more extensive pruning, or if the plant is beginning to become overcrowded, it should be done sparingly in late spring after it has finished blooming. Prune Kalimeris to maintain its compact habit by selectively removing stems and cutting back where desired, but avoid removing more than 1-third of the plant each season.
