When it comes to caring for this variety, light is key. The plant prefers full sun, so be sure to plant it in an area that gets plenty of sunlight. It is also drought-tolerant, so it’s low-maintenance and easy to care for.

Soil is another important factor for the health as this plant thrives in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. To keep your Hesperantha looking its best, make sure to water it regularly and fertilise it every few weeks during the growing season.

In terms of pruning, it does not require much maintenance. Simply deadhead the plant regularly to encourage re blooming and keep it looking neat and tidy.

In terms of Winter protection, Cindy Towe is quite hardy, so it can withstand cold temperatures. However, mulching the plant in Autumn will provide additional insulation and protect the roots from cold weather.

In conclusion, Hesperantha Cindy Towe is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that is sure to bring a touch of colour and life to your garden.
