With extended bloom time, strong pollinator appeal, and multi-season interest, Glowstick offers enhanced performance and standout beauty in any outdoor space.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil, ensuring enough space for the plant to thrive.

2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering; the soil should be moist, not soggy.

3. Pruning: Cut back spent flower spikes after blooming to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking tidy throughout the season.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to boost growth and flowering throughout the growing season.
