Ideal placement of a Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red'

Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red' flourishes in locations that receive full sun, as ample sunlight is crucial for the development of its vivid red blooms. This species is adaptable to all soil types, provided the ground is well-drained to prevent waterlogging, which could impair growth and bloom production. When selecting a site for planting, ensure that it offers enough space for the plant to reach its mature size of approximately 60 cm in height, allowing for an upright and bushy growth habit. For optimal visual impact, consider positioning it in a border or as part of a group planting where its striking flowers can be fully appreciated.

How do I plant a Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red'?

For successful establishment in your garden, ensure Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red' is planted in well-drained soil. Versatile in its soil preferences, this plant thrives when positioned in full sun. When transferring the plant from its pot into the ground, take care to space each specimen adequately to accommodate its upright to bushy growth, allowing for proper air circulation and sunlight penetration. Regular watering after planting is critical, particularly during dry spells, to foster robust root development. With an average water requirement, maintain consistent moisture levels, but be wary not to overwater.

Pruning a Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red'

Pruning of Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red' is best performed immediately after the flowering period concludes, typically in late June or early July. This encourages a tidy growth habit and may promote a second bloom in the late summer or early fall. Trim the stems down to the plant's base foliage to maintain an upright and bushy growth form, ensuring the cut is made just above a set of leaves to facilitate healthy new growth. Regular deadheading during the blooming season can also enhance the plant's vigor and appearance.

Watering a Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red'

To ensure the robust growth and vibrant blooms of Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red', consistent moisture is key. This species thrives with average water needs, and it is vital to maintain well-drained soil conditions to promote healthy development. During the active growth period in spring and early summer, watering should be more frequent, especially if there are extended spells of dry weather. It is best to water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage a strong root system, while avoiding overhead watering which could dampen the foliage unnecessarily. As a deciduous plant with no drought resistance, regular monitoring of soil moisture is recommended to maintain optimal hydration levels.

Fertilising a Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red'

To ensure the vibrant red blooms of the Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red' reach their full potential, appropriate fertilization is crucial. Begin nourishing this species in early spring to support the forthcoming growth season. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied as new growth appears provides the necessary nutrients over an extended period, promoting healthy development.

A second application of fertilizer should be considered in late spring, coinciding with the onset of the flowering period. It is imperative to distribute the fertilizer evenly around the base of the plant, taking care not to concentrate it too close to the stems to prevent root burn.

Regular fertilization not only boosts the flowering capacity but also strengthens the plant's overall health, allowing it to thrive in sunny borders and group plantings with its lush, green foliage.
