Water:
Originating from temperate regions, throatwort adapts to moderate moisture levels. It thrives with weekly watering and requires balanced hydration. As an herbaceous perennial, throatwort demands more water during its active growing season to support lush flowering.
Fertilize:
Applying organic fertilizer can enhance growth and flower quality for throatwort. If used, opt for a water-soluble type, applying once or twice monthly in spring and early summer. Avoid applying on throatwort to prevent burning, and steer clear of nitrogen-heavy fertilizers.
Pruning:
Throatwort features bell-shaped flowers and foliage, thriving with careful pruning in early to later spring. Remove dead or damaged stems and cut back overgrown shoots to enhance flowering and maintain shape, improving air circulation and overall health.
Propagation:
Throatwort propagation involves sowing seeds in well-draining soil, lightly covering them, and maintaining consistent moisture and moderate light for germination. Once seedlings are strong, transplant them into individual pots to develop before transferring to their final location.
