Fleabane Care Must-Knows
Plant fleabane in full sun and average dry-to-medium well-drained soil. Fleabane puts up with some light shade, especially in climates with hot summers. Fleabane is a biennial or short-lived perennial in most areas, but it doesn’t often thrive in areas with hot, humid summer climates. In optimum growing conditions fleabane may self-seed, producing a new crop of plants every year. After plants finish blooming, cut them back by about half to encourage dense, new growth and tidy up their appearance. Fleabane will occasionally bloom again in late summer or early fall. In early spring, cut plants back to ground level before growth begins. Divide fleabane every two or three years in either spring or fall. As for problems, leaf spots, rust, and powdery mildew may occasionally cause fleabane trouble. Rich soil may make this plant get leggy. But overall, this plant prefers to be ignored —so enjoy it without working up a sweat. Learn all about common plant diseases.
