How to keep Centaurea Salonitana.
Water
Yellow knapweed needs moderate watering every 3-4 days during the spring and fall. In summer, it requires watering twice a day. In winter, water it every 1-2 weeks, making sure the soil stays slightly dry to prevent water from accumulating.
Pruning
Yellow knapweed benefits from early spring pruning, which helps stimulate growth and maintain its shape. Removing dead stems promotes the plant's overall health, while pruning before it blooms encourages more flowers. Regular pruning improves air circulation, reduces the risk of disease, and cutting back spent blooms extends the flowering period and enhances the plant's vigor.
