Water: Originating from Mediterranean climates, perennial hyoseris thrives in moderate moisture with well-draining soil. Establishing drought resilience, it requires weekly watering. As an outdoor plant, it benefits from rainwater during the growing season, enhancing its robustness and aligning with its natural water cycle.

Fertilize: For perennial hyoseris, use a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to enhance growth and flowering. Avoid root burn by applying granules away from the base and watering thoroughly afterward. Adjust feeding in winter and follow package instructions for optimal results.

Pruning: Perennial hyoseris requires well-timed pruning in early to late spring to promote vigorous growth. Remove weak stems to encourage blooming and maintain shape. Light, frequent pruning enhances foliage health and overall aesthetics, but avoid excessive cutting to prevent stress.

Propagation: Perennial hyoseris propagates effectively via sowing. Use a well-draining soil mix, placing seeds at an optimum depth for light access. Maintain consistent moisture without overwatering. Handle seedlings gently for healthy growth. Experience with daisy family plants can help due to similar needs.
