For successful growth, scorpiurus prefers well-drained, fertile soil and a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Begin by preparing the garden area, removing any weeds, and loosening the soil to encourage root development. Position the plants at an appropriate depth and distance apart, as overcrowding can lead to disease. Regular watering, particularly in the initial weeks, is crucial for establishment. Be wary of the specific needs of different species under the scorpiurus genus for optimal growth.
