Planting & Care

Sow Swamp Titi seeds in a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Lightly press seeds into the surface and keep them consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a warm temperature (70-75°F) and provide bright, indirect light. Germination can be slow and uneven; be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and continue growing in a moist, sunny location. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden.

Swamp Titi prefers consistently wet soil and can be planted near water features or in rain gardens. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first year after planting. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape if desired.
