Cephalaria are annual or perennial herbaceous plants growing to 80 to 200 cm tall. Cephalaria is a genus of about 65 species, native to southern Europe, western and central Asia, and northern and southern Africa.
Water:
Cephalaria thrives in moisture-rich environments and prefers evenly moist soil. Water weekly to maintain health, while acknowledging its moderate drought tolerance. As an outdoor plant in temperate regions, cephalaria benefits from seasonal rains to ensure adequate hydration during critical growth periods.
Propagation:
Propagation of cephalaria primarily occurs through seed sowing, with mature plants also propagated by division. Key factors for success include adequate light, temperatures of 18-22°C (64-72°F), and well-draining soil. Careful spacing is essential to avoid overcrowding, and attention to watering is crucial.
