How To Grow Rhodanthemum hosmariense – Basic Care

This is a low growing plant that grows well in a rock garden situation, or in fact any well drained humus rich soil.

  • Prepare the soil by weeding well and digging in some compost and cow or sheep manure.
  • The best time to plant is in early spring although late summer will work as well.
  • Plant at the same depth as your new plant was in the container.
  • Water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Water through the first few summers or if the soil drys out.
  • Fertilise in spring with a liquid fertiliser or general purpose slow release type fertiliser.

Top Tips
