Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Incarvillea grow best in an average to dry, sandy, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Will continue to bloom for several weeks if deadheaded. Winter mulching is recommended for our region, and then should be removed in early spring. Incarvillea have a large taproot, so moving it once established is not recommended.
