ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom
Italian catchfly is fairly resistant to disease and typically does not suffer from illnesses. Regarding care, this species is fairly low-maintenance. Outdoors it needs only light watering, and mature plants usually do not require pruning, while smaller specimens should be trimmed after flowering. The Italian catchfly is appropriate for anyone with outdoor space—such as a garden or a deck—and does not demand extensive plant-care experience.
