CARE GUIDE

How to keep Astroloma Humifusum.

Pruning

Cranberry heath has a dense, sprawling habit and vibrant flowers. To maintain its health and appearance, prune it in early spring. This helps remove dead or damaged branches and control its growth. Pruning during this time promotes a healthy structure, improves air circulation, reduces the risk of disease, and encourages prolific blooming, resulting in a vibrant plant.
