Knotted HedgeparsleyTorilis nodosa

Water Torilis nodosa consistently during its active growth period, especially in dry conditions. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly in autumn and winter, providing only enough to prevent complete desiccation. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Pruning is usually not required for Torilis nodosa. If it becomes overgrown or unruly, it can be trimmed back in early spring before new growth emerges.

Deadheading spent flower stalks can prevent unwanted self-seeding, although this plant is often treated as an annual or biennial.

Torilis nodosa is easily propagated by seed sown directly outdoors in autumn or early spring. Seeds may benefit from a period of cold stratification.

The plant readily self-seeds, often establishing itself in suitable locations, so collecting and sowing seeds from mature plants is straightforward.

Repotting is generally not necessary for Torilis nodosa, as it is often grown as an annual or biennial and its root system is not particularly extensive. If grown in a container and it becomes root-bound, it can be transplanted to a slightly larger pot in spring before active growth begins.
