Growing Conditions
Light: Selago canescens thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil. It can adapt to poorer soils but benefits from a mixture enriched with organic matter for healthier growth.
Water: This plant is drought-tolerant once established but will grow best with regular watering. Allow the soil to dry out between watering to prevent overwatering, especially in winter.
Temperature: Selago canescens is hardy and prefers temperate climates, tolerating light frosts. Protect from prolonged cold spells below freezing.
Fertilizer: Light feeding with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring will support healthy growth and encourage flowering.
Maintenance: Prune back after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. It can be susceptible to overwatering, so ensure good drainage.
Selago canescens is a resilient plant, great for adding delicate blooms and texture to a rock garden or sunny border. Its drought resistance makes it a low-maintenance option for xeriscaping.
