Phuopsis stylosa
Large-styled crosswort (Phuopsis stylosa) is a small, evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean. It bears white, star-shaped flowers with five petals, and has linear/lanceolate leaves which are alternate on the stem. The plant has a mounded growth habit, reaching about one meter in height and width. It is suitable for use in borders, beds, and as a groundcover. Its salt and drought tolerance make it an ideal choice for coastal gardens, and it is tolerant of full sun and partial shade. It is an easy plant to grow, and the flowers, while not particularly showy, will add splashes of bright white color in early spring and summer.

watering
Large-styled crosswort (Phuopsis stylosa) is a hardy and drought tolerant perennial that prefers a moist, well-drained soil. It should be watered every 3-4 days, providing enough moisture to keep the soil slightly damp but not soggy. During the summer months, it should be watered more frequently to prevent it from drying out. During the winter, it should be watered less often, as overwatering can lead to root rot. It is important to make sure that the soil has had time to dry out between waterings.
sunlight
Phuopsis stylosa, also known as large-styled crosswort, does best when it has 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day. It can also tolerate some shade, but will flower and grow best when exposed to plenty of direct sunlight. The best times to provide this plant with sunlight is between 10 am and 4 pm, with the peak hours being from noon to 2 pm.
pruning
Pruning large-styled crosswort (Phuopsis stylosa) should be done in early spring, just as new growth starts to appear. Pruning should be moderate, with light shaping to remove any dead or damaged branches and any crossing or crowded branches. This will help to maintain the plant’s overall shape and promote new healthy growth. As the plant ages, it may require more regular pruning to keep it from becoming too leggy or woody. On average, prune the plant back by 1-third to 1-half of its current height each year. This will encourage more compact and bushy growth.
