Common Questions

Q

How are plants commonly used in a landscape?

A

Moss rose is great for the front of borders, rock gardens, naturalized areas, ground cover, sprawling over rock walls and is great for containers and hanging baskets.

Q

Do I need to deadhead spent blooms?

A

To reduce self-seeding, you will want to deadhead spent blooms.

Q

Do I need to fertilizer plants?

A

Plants are quite resilient and can thrive in poor soil, which means they usually do not require fertilizer. However, applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer when planting can encourage robust growth and abundant flowering. You can fertilize twice during the growing season using a phosphorus-rich blend to enhance bloom production.

Q

Do I need to prune my plants back?

A

Require minimal pruning, particularly if you reside in a climate where they thrive year-round. The ideal time for trimming is early spring, just before new growth starts to appear. Be sure to eliminate any dead or diseased growth. Additionally, thinning out a dense plant can enhance air circulation, helping to lower the chances of fungal diseases.

Q

I have very few blooms, what is wrong?

A

This is almost always a sign of the moisture level. Plants really dislike wet or soggy soil, well-draining soil is needed for moss rose to bloom optimally. Plants also need plenty of light so if your area gets shade, it can make a huge difference to move plants to a new location.
