watering
Loosestrife should be watered once a week throughout the growing season (April–October). The amount of water needed can vary, depending on the soil and air temperatures, so always check the top inch of soil to determine if it is dry. For loosestrife (Lysimachia 'L9902' SNOW CANDLES) water thoroughly to a depth of at least 8 inches, so the entire root system receives moisture. Watering should be done in the morning, to give the foliage time to dry in the sunlight. Too much water can lead to root rot, so always water in moderation.
sunlight
Loosestrife (Lysimachia 'L9902' SNOW CANDLES) thrives best in full sun to partial shade. Depending on your plant’s location and the time of year, it should receive at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. During the months of spring and summer, when the days are longer and temperatures are warm, your loosestrife will thrive if it gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. During the shorter days of fall and winter, it will need to be given 4-6 hours of direct sunlight, and partial shade can be helpful when the days are especially cold or wet.
pruning
When to Prune: Loosestrife should be pruned in the late winter or early spring, just before new growth emerges. This will promote bushier, healthier growth in the coming season. How Much to Prune: Prune Loosestrife by cutting back the stems by a third, removing old flowers and foliage, if desired. Leave some new growth and flower buds at the tips of the stems to produce flowers throughout the summer. If necessary, light pruning may also be done during the summer.
