Planting & Care

Tips On Growing Hedeoma (False Pennyroyal)

Hedeoma (False Pennyroyal) is a genus of native North American perennials, with some species also found in South America.
Preferred growing conditions:

  • Plant in infertile (lean), fast-draining soils. Not suitable for clay soils.
  • Enjoys full sun to partial shade exposure.
  • Water transplants regularly for the first growing season and provide drier conditions once established.
  • Hedeoma are generally long blooming and don't need to be deadheaded.
  • Fertilize lightly in the fall with Yum Yum Mix.

Special comments:

  • Leave standing over the winter and cut back just above the crown in mid-spring.
  • A favorite plant of bumblebees, it is an excellent companion plant for Lavender, which are also a favorite nectar source for bumble and honey bees.
