$10 · Maltese perennial flower, 3 for $10 first year plant with seed heads

Maltese cross plant need evenly moist soil for the best growth. Water often during hot summers. Best grown in fertile soil. Grows to be about 28 inches tall at maturity extending to 4 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. My tallest in its third year is 42 inches tall, see main picture. A sunny location will promote profuse blooming and bushier growth. These plants will tolerate partial shade but they will have less blooms. Blooms early to mid summer. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooms up until first frost of Fall. However, you can withhold deadheading to allow the plant to self seed and spread. Will need light maintenance by cutting off old stems to allow for new growth. Deadhead during the mid summer and perform light pruning once every spring. Selling first year’s plant single stalk, have new shoots growing at the base and a few growing on some of the leaf’s nodes, 3 for $10. Plants have gone to seed, see pictures #4 & #5 for reference, updated September 25, 2024. Buy now and seed them in the Fall and grow more plants! Once the flowers are done blooming, cut them down and dry in the sun. Seed them in the Fall, don’t cover it and leave until Spring/Summer to water. Plant now before the frost comes and the ground hardens. North pick up
