Water: Originating from damp meadows, siberian ligularia thrives in consistent moisture with a weekly watering schedule to support lush foliage. As an herbaceous perennial, its vitality hinges on adequate water during the growing season, promoting vigorous growth and vibrant blooms.

Fertilize: Siberian ligularia thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers during the growing season, using high phosphorus supplements to enhance blooms. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer, reduce in fall, and stop in winter. Water thoroughly after application and adjust based on growth response and blooming needs.

Pruning: Siberian ligularia thrives with early to late spring pruning, focusing on dead or damaged foliage and spent flower spikes to enhance growth and blooming. Proper pruning maintains shape and vigor while preventing disease. Be cautious of its growth cycle to avoid removing new buds.

Propagation: Siberian ligularia is a robust herbaceous perennial that prefers moist soil and partial shade. For propagation, sow seeds in a prepared nursery bed, maintaining moisture without waterlogging. Regular care, including watering and weather protection, is crucial until seedlings can be transplanted permanently.
