Water: Great masterwort thrives in consistently moist soil, reflecting its natural habitat. Water once every 1-2 weeks, with increased needs during the growing season for optimal health. While moderately drought-tolerant, great masterwort flourishes with balanced moisture, supporting its foliage and blooms.

Pruning: Great masterwort features attractive starry flowers and foliage. Prune in early to late spring, removing dead stems for healthy growth. Post-bloom, trim spent flowers to encourage continual blooming. Regular pruning enhances air circulation and prevents diseases. Keep tools clean to maintain plant health.

Propagation: Great masterwort propagates best by sowing in well-draining soil to prevent overcrowding. A shaded area aids germination, while gentle watering maintains moisture. After seedlings develop true leaves, transplant them to final locations for optimal growth and ornamental potential.
