Rough Purple False Foxglove

Muskroot should be well-watered in order to thrive. Water the plant when the top 2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. During the warmer summer months, it is important to give the plant water every 2-3 days. During the cooler months the frequency should be reduced to twice a week or less. When watering, ensure that the entire root system is thoroughly soaked. To avoid stagnation, make sure the excess water is able to drain away. The soil should never be soggy or wet for extended periods of time.

Muskroot (Adoxa moschatellina) requires at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day in order to photosynthesise. During the summer months, it's best to provide 6 to 8 hours of direct sun, with some protection from the midday heat. The plant will also benefit from some shade during the winter months, so that the sun's rays don't become too intense. Be sure to give the plant a consistent source of sunlight by finding a spot with minimal shade. Too much shade can lead to a weak, leggy plant.

Muskroot (Adoxa moschatellina) is an evergreen perennial plant with a shrub-like growth pattern. Pruning should be done in early spring or late summer, when new, mounding growth is occurring. Pruning should be minimal, as this plant is an effective ground cover and looks better left natural.Light pruning should be done to remove any crossing or damaged branches. Always prune the plant above a leaf node, or set of buds. Cut away any dead or diseased branches, as well as any thin or spindly branches. Pruning this plant encourages overall air circulation and availability of light. Avoid pruning too much as this plant benefits from its natural form.
