CARE GUIDE
How to keep Lepidium Flavum.
Pruning
Yellow pepperweed is known for its yellow flowers and peppery fragrance. To keep the plant healthy, regular pruning is important, ideally carried out from early to late spring. During pruning, remove any dead or damaged stems to improve airflow and light penetration. This process encourages new growth, increases bloom production, and reduces the risk of disease, helping the plant thrive.
