Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Frosted Flame'

🌱Spring

• Spring - late · Outdoors

  Feed with slow release fertiliser

  Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)

  This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.

• Spring-Autumn · Outdoors

  Water during drought

  After three or four weeks without rain, except for drought tolerant plants, those in the ground often get stressed. Adopt the habit of deep-watering one section of the garden each day. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

  Encourage plants to develop good root systems by giving occasional deep watering. Some plants, such as conifers and heathers, do not show much sign of distress so water these if in doubt.

• Spring - early-mid · Planting

  Divide when too large

  The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.
