Choose a sunny well drained position to encourage abundant flowering throughout the growing season.

Dampiera diversifolia care tips

Dampiera diversifolia is a low maintenance plant that benefits from feeding during spring with a quality slow release fertiliser. Apply mulch around the base to retain soil moisture while keeping it clear of the stems. Trim lightly after the main flowering period to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth and additional flowers.
