PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Plant Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’ when the soil is workable and beginning to warm. At this stage, roots establish more effectively and, therefore, the plant settles quickly ahead of flowering from early summer through to early autumn.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Choose a position in full sun. Adequate light, as a result, promotes strong upright stems and abundant flowering on Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil is ideal. Improving the planting area with organic matter helps retain moisture while supporting healthy root growth.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth to allow roots to spread easily.
Soil Preparation: Mix compost into the excavated soil to improve structure and fertility.
Planting: Position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, then backfill and firm gently.
Water After Planting: Water thoroughly to settle the soil and support early establishment of Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between sessions. Consequently, this encourages steady growth without waterlogging.
Dormant Period: Reduce watering significantly once growth slows, helping Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’ follow its natural growth rhythm.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser to encourage fresh foliage growth and strong flower stems.
Mid-Season: Additionally, a light supplementary feed can help maintain flowering performance through the peak blooming period.
Pruning and Maintenance
Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes regularly to prolong blooming and keep plants tidy. This also redirects energy back into Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’.
Seasonal Cutting Back: Cut back stems after flowering finishes to refresh growth and maintain a neat, compact clump.
Mulching
Spring Mulch: Apply a thin organic mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality.
Protective Mulch: Mulching later in the year helps protect the root system and supports long-term plant health.
Final Tips
Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’ is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that rewards simple care with months of graceful colour. Plant it in a sunny, well-drained position, provide consistent watering, and Sidalcea ‘Loveliness’ will return reliably year after year with elegant floral displays.
