Water: False fleabane, native to dry habitats, is drought-tolerant and requires weekly watering. It flourishes outdoors, benefiting from natural rainfall and moisture variations, making it ideal for xeriscaping or rock gardens that reflect its arid origins.

Propagation: Propagate false fleabane via seed sowing and division. Use well-drained soil and ensure full sun. Sow seeds in spring or autumn; keep moist. For division, lift and divide clumps in spring, replanting with roots intact. Moderate difficulty due to variable germination rates.
