Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Double Flowered Moss Rose Mix is a drought-tolerant succulent flowering plant. It thrives in hot and rather dry conditions. Keep it warm until sprouts appear. Moss Rose requires well-draining soil and full sun to produce the most blooms.
When to Grow
The best time to plant Moss Rose is after the last frost in spring when temperatures reach at least 70 F. Since it cannot tolerate frost, check your local area’s last frost date before planting outdoors. If you’re not sure how to do that, give our blog post ‘Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources’ a read.
How to Sow and Plant
Seeds should be lightly pressed into the soil and not covered, as they need light to germinate. Space the plants about 10 inches apart to give them enough room to grow. Use well-draining, sandy soil to prevent root rot. Germination typically takes 10-14 days at temperatures between 70-85 F. Keep the soil slightly moist until sprouts appear. If starting indoors, transplant seedlings only after outdoor temperatures remain consistently warm.
How to Grow
Moss Rose thrives in full sun, needing 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily for best blooms. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and should be watered only when the soil is completely dry. Applying a light dose of balanced fertilizer once a month can enhance flowering. Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms throughout the season. The plant is generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract aphids or experience fungal problems if overwatered.
How to Save
- Allow flowers to dry on the plant and form small seed pods.
- Once the pods turn brown and dry, carefully collect them.
- Open the pods over a clean surface to release the tiny seeds.
- Store seeds in a cool, dry place inside an airtight container.
- In warm climates, it may self-seed and return the following season.
