Water: Eastern fleabane flourishes in moderately moist environments and requires balanced watering, ideally every week. While it tolerates occasional dry spells, rainwater during its growing season enhances its health, making it more suited to outdoor conditions.

Pruning: Eastern fleabane showcases vibrant orange-yellow flowers and benefits from early spring pruning. Remove dead stems to boost blooms, and lightly trim for shape. This practice enhances air circulation, improves flowering, and maintains plant vigor, promoting a robust structure.
