CARE GUIDE

How to keep Jacksonia Spinosa.

Pruning

Jacksonia spinosa features slender branches and delicate foliage. For optimal care, prune in early spring before new growth appears. Remove any dead or crossing branches to improve airflow. Strive to maintain a balanced shape by performing light, regular trims. This will help control the plant's size, enhance flowering, and prevent disease.
