A note from PlantMom

Heath woodrush is fairly disease-resistant and typically does not suffer from illnesses. In terms of care, this plant is relatively low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs little watering, and larger plants usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they finish blooming. Heath woodrush is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive experience in plant care.
