How To Grow an Edgeworthia

• Soil: Edgeworthia prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It tolerates a range of soils, but it thrives in loamy or slightly acidic soil.
• Light: It does well in partial shade but can also grow in full sun, provided the soil remains moist.
• Watering: Regular watering is needed during dry spells, especially during the summer months.
• Frost Tolerance: Edgeworthia can tolerate mild frost but may require protection in very cold winters. Mulching around the base can help to protect the roots from freezing temperatures.
• Pruning: Little pruning is required, although shaping can be done after flowering. It’s important to avoid pruning too hard, as the plant blooms on old wood.
