Common Pests & Diseases
Transplant
12-15 inches
Slender crosswort thrives when transplanted from mid-spring to early summer, a period allowing stable growth before intense heat. Ensure a sunny location with well-drained soil to maximize its perennial vigor. If needed, ensure roots are undisturbed to minimize transplant shock.
Transplant Techniques 
Pruning
Spring, Summer
Slender crosswort is a low-growing perennial known for its characteristic cross-shaped flowers. Optimal pruning is advised in late spring or early summer, post-flowering to encourage new growth and maintain shape. Cut back old and faded stems to promote healthy, dense foliage. Regular pruning enhances the plant's appearance and vigor without the need for intensive maintenance. This process also helps in preventing overgrowth and ensures robust seasonal blooms.
