Regular watering during the first growing season helps develop a deep root system. Trim back any dead or damaged foliage to maintain its neat appearance. This plant tolerates light foot traffic and can be mowed occasionally to maintain its compact form. Planting Instructions Plant Brass Buttons in spring or fall for best results. Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil to a depth of 6 inches and incorporating organic matter. Space plants 12 inches apart to allow for spreading. Plant at the same depth as the container, water thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants, avoiding the crown.
