Care Guide for Xeranthemum

Water

Water: Xeranthemum prefers well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant, efficiently storing moisture. Watering weekly without oversaturation supports its health. When grown outdoors, consider its growing season; consistent moisture is crucial during active growth for optimal performance.

Propagation: Xeranthemum propagates primarily through seed sowing in full sun and well-draining soil. It requires moderate temperatures and should be protected from waterlogging. Sow seeds in early spring, lightly cover, and keep moist. Germination takes 2-3 weeks before transplanting seedlings into pots or garden beds.
