Planting empodium requires well-draining soil, partial to full sunlight, and moderate watering, ensuring the bulbs don't sit in waterlogged conditions. Start by loosening the soil and incorporating organic matter. Plant bulbs at a depth about three times their height, spaced evenly. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil around the bulbs. Mulch can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Be mindful of the particular needs of different empodium species and their adaptability to local climates.
