Care and Watering

Southernwood thrives in sunny, well-drained soil. Water sparingly, allowing the top soil to dry between waterings; avoid soggy pots to prevent root rot.

Maintenance

Prune after flowering to keep a compact shape and stimulate fresh growth; remove dead stems and pinch tips to encourage bushy habit.

Location

Plant in full sun with good air circulation; avoid shade and crowding to reduce mildew risk; great in herb borders or containers.

Tips

Mulch lightly, overwinter in frost pockets, and harvest young shoots for drying; the strong aroma deters many pests.
