How to keep Actinotus Minor.

Pruning

The lesser flannel flower benefits from early spring pruning, which involves trimming old stems to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Light pruning also improves air circulation and reduces the risk of disease, promoting continuous blooming. To keep the plant healthy and vibrant throughout the growing season, regularly remove spent flowers (deadhead) and perform minimal pruning.
