Salad Burnet prefers consistent moisture but tolerates some dryness once established. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

Prune Salad Burnet regularly to encourage bushier growth and to harvest leaves. Trim back stems by about one-third after flowering to promote a second flush of leaves.

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent self-seeding if desired.

Salad Burnet can be easily propagated by seed sown directly outdoors in spring or autumn. It can also be propagated by division of established clumps in spring.

Softwood cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer.

Young plants may benefit from repotting annually or biennially into slightly larger containers to provide more room for root development. Mature plants, especially when grown in the ground, rarely need repotting and prefer not to be disturbed.
