Instructions
Top Tip
Prostanthera plants thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from light pruning after flowering to maintain their shape and encourage dense growth.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first year, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and require less frequent watering, except during prolonged dry periods.
How to Plant
Select a sunny to partly shaded location with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, backfill gently, and water thoroughly. Add mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots.
