Water: Speedwells 'Pascal' should be watered every 3 to 4 days, with consistent moisture needed during growth, recovery, and flowering periods. In winter, reduce watering due to dormancy, ensuring proper drainage. Prune yellowed areas in early spring and resume regular watering to kickstart growth.

Fertilize: Speedwells 'Pascal' needs minimal fertilizer, primarily a water-soluble compound (20-10-20) during growth, and (10-30-20) before flowering, 10-15 days prior. Fertilization decreases in early fall and is not needed during recovery due to weak root nutrient absorption. Excess can harm roots and slow growth.

Pruning: Speedwells 'Pascal' showcases vibrant blooms and benefits from early to late spring pruning. Trim dead stems for bushier growth and improved airflow. Remove spent blooms to encourage flowering, using clean tools to prevent disease. Consult horticultural sources for techniques specific to your speedwells 'Pascal' variety.

Propagation: Speedwells 'Pascal' can be propagated through division, sowing, and cuttage. Division is best done in mid-spring using 2- to 3-year-old plants, maintaining 6-8 buds per section. Cuttage occurs in late spring or summer, requiring moist soil until roots develop for transplanting.
