CARE GUIDE
How to keep Malacothamnus Fremontii.
Pruning
Fremon's bushmallow is characterized by its soft, grayish leaves and benefits greatly from pruning in early spring. To promote bushiness, remove any dead branches and trim up to one-third of the older stems. This approach is consistent with the plant's growth cycle, minimizing stress and maximizing its blooms. Additionally, using sharp tools for pruning helps prevent disease.
