Light
Tweedia solanoides is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats, commonly flourishing in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun conditions.

In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and providing suitable shade to prevent sunburn. On the other hand, Tweedia solanoides has fairly poor cold tolerance; it can endure some chill, but very low temperatures may cause frost damage.
