Water regularly during the establishment phase, especially in dry conditions. Once established, Sericea Lespedeza is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental watering.

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or damaged stems. For older plants, a harder pruning can rejuvenate them.

If used as a groundcover, mowing can help maintain a more uniform appearance and prevent excessive height.

Propagation is typically done by seed. Seeds require scarification or stratification to break dormancy. Scarify by nicking the seed coat or soaking in hot water.

Stratify by sowing in pots and keeping them in a cold, moist environment for 30-60 days. Can also be propagated by cuttings.

Repotting is generally not necessary for established plants, as they are long-lived perennials. If starting from seed or cuttings in containers, repot into a larger container when the root system becomes crowded, typically when the plant is still young and actively growing.
