How to Plant Cottonheads?
Plants in the genus cottonheads typically thrive in well-draining soil, require full sun to partial shade, and a moderate amount of watering, with care to avoid waterlogging. While preparing the planting area, ensure loose, fertile soil. Plant at a depth where the crown is just at the soil surface. Press the soil gently around the base and water thoroughly. In the initial stages, keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated. Recognize specific species' needs within the genus, as varying conditions may apply. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
