Growing Tricyrtis Autumn Glow Successfully in NZ

Tricyrtis Autumn Glow thrives when planted in a shaded or partially shaded spot with rich, well-drained soil. It prefers consistent moisture and benefits from mulching to keep roots cool. Hot and dry locations should be avoided. Water during dry spells and apply a balanced fertiliser in spring. This hardy perennial adds late-season interest with its variegated foliage and exotic, orchid-like flowers in autumn.

Tricyrtis Autumn Glow Care Tips

Plant Tricyrtis Autumn Glow in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to maintain consistent soil moisture. Mulching around the base helps to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and flowering. Cut back spent stems in late autumn or winter. This low-maintenance perennial is ideal for woodland gardens and shaded borders.

Plant Size and Spacing

Tricyrtis Autumn Glow typically grows to around 40-60 cm tall and 30-45 cm wide. For best results, space plants approximately 30–40 cm apart to allow for good air circulation and room for their graceful, arching growth. This spacing helps maintain plant health and supports a tidy, well-filled garden display.
