This False Sunflower prefers moist, well-draining soil with a neutral pH. However, it’s highly adaptable to different soil conditions. Although this plant is drought tolerant, it performs best with regular watering. Avoid over-fertilizing, which may encourage more foliage and fewer blooms. Apply a thin layer of compost on the surrounding soil early in the spring.

Pruning can be beneficial to these plants and to your visual display. Pinching off the spent blooms will encourage branching and more flowers to appear. Divide the plant every few years to rejuvenate the roots.
