Water: Originating from rocky coasts, hulten's licorice-root thrives in consistently moist conditions, though it can tolerate short dry spells. Weekly watering is recommended. As an herbaceous perennial, it prefers outdoor growth, benefiting from natural rainfall and well-draining, moisture-retaining soil.
Fertilize: For optimal growth of hulten's licorice-root, use a balanced fertilizer biannually in early spring and mid-summer. Apply approximately one tablespoon per plant around the root zone, avoiding over-fertilization. Adjust application during cooler months, wear gloves for safety, and water after to aid absorption.
Pruning: Hulten's licorice-root features aromatic leaves and white or pink flowers. Early spring pruning encourages growth, while removing damaged stems enhances air circulation. Light pruning later shapes the plant, promotes density, and prevents leggy stems, ensuring a healthy, attractive appearance for seasonal care.
Propagation: Hulten's licorice-root can be effectively propagated through division by carefully separating clumps of leaves and roots. Each segment should have a growing point, sufficient root structure, and top growth, and should be planted in well-draining soil with adequate moisture and nutrients for optimal growth.
