How to care for Brachyglottis (Dunedin Group) Sunshine:
Plant in well-drained soil and a sunny position, as it thrives in dry, sunny conditions and is ideal for coastal gardens. Water well during establishment, but once settled, it is drought-tolerant and low maintenance.
To keep the plant compact and bushy, cut back lightly after flowering, removing spent blooms and tidying up any leggy growth. Apply a layer of mulch around the base in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid overwatering or planting in heavy, poorly drained soil, as this can cause root rot.
