For the successful cultivation of Flower Child sage, choosing the right spot is absolutely crucial, because this plant cannot deny its origin from the parched regions of Texas. It requires full sun and as much heat as possible; shade does not suit it and it will bloom only very little in it. Preparation of the soil, which must be perfectly drained, is fundamental. Heavy, clayey, and wet soils are unsuitable for it, so if you have such soil in your garden, it is necessary to lighten it with a large amount of sand or fine gravel. Plant the seedling so that the neck of the plant is not buried under the soil, and keep a spacing of approximately 50 cm so air can flow around the plant. Given its compact growth, it is also ideal for rock gardens or dry walls where water drains away quickly.
Care during the season is surprisingly easy and suitable even for complete beginners. After planting, water the seedling regularly until it roots, but an adult plant can then handle even longer periods of drought. Watering should be rather intermittent – let the substrate dry out and only then water. Do not overdo it with fertilizing; too many nutrients would lead to lush leaf growth at the expense of beautiful fuchsia flowers. A great advantage of this variety is its vitality – it does not suffer from pests or diseases, so you don't have to worry about aphids or powdery mildew. To encourage continuous blooming from May right up to November, we recommend continuously removing the faded inflorescences. The plant will not exhaust itself by forming seeds and will have energy for new buds.
Overwintering is a chapter in itself. Although the plant can tolerate frost down to -12 °C, in our conditions it is often threatened more by winter dampness than by frost. If you live in a warmer area and decide to leave it in the bed, it is necessary to ensure a dry winter regime for it (for example, by covering it with evergreen branches so that water doesn't get to it, but it gets ventilation). A much more reliable and frequently recommended option is growing in containers. The pot must have drainage holes and a drainage layer. For the winter, simply move the plant to a bright, cool room (garage, winter garden) with a temperature between 5 and 10 °C and limit watering to a minimum. Then in the spring, perform a deeper hard pruning, which will thicken the plant and start it off for the new season.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
