The cottsia genus is relatively adaptable, functioning well in well-draining to sandy soils. They prefer a sunny to partially shaded location and require a moderate amount of watering. To plant, clear the planting area from any weeds or grasses, dig a hole twice the width of your plant's root ball, place the plant, then backfill. It's crucial to water the plant thoroughly after planting. While cottsia has general needs, individual species may have specific requirements. Ensure to research these ahead of time for optimal growth.
