Water: Seseli thrives in rocky, arid habitats with excellent drought tolerance, requiring minimal moisture. A weekly watering routine is optimal, as overwatering can harm its health. Primarily grown outdoors, seseli is ideal for xeriscaping, reducing irrigation needs.

Fertilize: To care for seseli, utilize balanced nutrition fertilizers, emphasizing high-nitrogen types during growth. Fertilize monthly in growing seasons, tapering to bi-monthly in dormancy. Water seseli post-application to enhance nutrient absorption and perform soil tests for precise adjustments while avoiding over-fertilization.

Pruning: Seseli has intricate foliage and needs pruning primarily in early to late spring. Remove dead stems, thin overcrowded branches for circulation, and light trim for shape. This seasonal pruning supports healthy growth, enhances vitality, and extends blooming duration.

Propagation: Seseli flourishes in well-draining soil, requiring careful moisture management to prevent waterlogging. Handle seedlings gently to promote healthy growth. Transplant young seseli into individual pots, then move them to their final location once they are robust enough to thrive.
