Maintenance guide
Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:
Phalaris ‘Strawberry and Cream’ thrives in full sun to partial shade. The brighter the light, the more intense its pink hues become.
Keep the soil fresh and slightly moist, especially in summer. Perfect for planting near water features or in organically rich soil.
A light application of fertilizer in spring is enough to encourage healthy growth.
Cut back dry or damaged foliage in spring to encourage fresh new growth. Can be invasive: monitor its spread or grow in containers for better control.
