Rhodanthemum gayanum Care
Evergreen and needing little care except for a light pruning in spring to maintain shape and a general tidy up at the end of the season in autumn.
Reaching around 25 – 35 cm in height (depending on cultivar) and a spread of around 35 cm this is a wonderful long flowering plant that with a little water and a slow release fertiliser is a good performer. Some pretty dwarf varieties are now available.
Grows well in full sun in a humus rich well drained soil is best, keep moist in summer but do not over water.
