Growing & Maintenance Tips for Hypericum inodorum Pumpkin
Thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils with moderate moisture. Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. In spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and vibrant berries. Trim back in early spring to shape the plant or remove any winter-damaged branches.
