A note from PlantMom

Boreal fleabane has strong resistance to disease and is generally not affected by illnesses. However, it can be vulnerable to pests and diseases present in its surroundings. These problems are usually minor. Regarding care, the plant needs a moderate amount of attention. It requires regular pruning to keep a tidy appearance and support healthy growth. Fertilizing can also help encourage flowering. Boreal fleabane is suitable for anyone with outdoor space, like a garden or patio, and does not need extensive gardening experience. It may need more attention if grown indoors.
