Care & Growing

Watering

Highly drought tolerant once established. Water 1-2 times per week during the first year. Avoid overwatering.

Light

Full sun provides best foliage colour; tolerates partial shade but flowering may be reduced.

Soil

Thrives in well-drained soil, even chalky or rocky ground. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged soils.

Fertilizer

A balanced fertilizer application in spring is sufficient. Over-fertilizing reduces flowering.

Usage Areas

  • Park and garden landscapes
  • Roadside and median plantings
  • Rock gardens
  • Mass planting areas
  • Xeriscape and dry climate projects

Frequently Asked Questions

Smoke trees grow at a moderate rate of approximately 20-40 cm per year. They can reach a mature height of 4-5 metres in about 10-15 years.

Minimal pruning is needed. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches. Hard pruning encourages vigorous foliage but reduces flowering.
