A note from PlantMom
Melianthus villosus is resistant to disease and is generally not susceptible to illnesses. With regard to care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs little watering, and larger specimens usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they finish blooming. Melianthus villosus is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive care experience.
