Scarlet tassel flower plants will grow best when planted in full sunlight. They can also tolerate partial shade, but full sun is their preferred location for best blooms.

When growing scarlet tassel flowers, the soil should be well-drained. They can grow in both neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. These plants are not particular about the soil pH, and can successfully grow in even poor soil conditions.

These half-hardy annual plants are native to the tropics and therefore do best in higher heat and humidity. They are an ideal choice for hot and damp areas as well as in coastal soils.

You'll need to water scarlet tassel flowers regularly when they are first establishing, but then, after that, they will only require watering during particular dry, hot periods of weather.

These plants are not heavy feeders so you shouldn't fertilize them too much. Though scarlet tassel flowers can grow in poor soils, if needed, you can scratch in a few inches of compost or other organic granular fertilizer upon planting.

The scarlet tassel flower doesn't require extensive pruning, but it can be deadheaded (or you can cut back whole stems) to promote continued blooming.

Good job! You are taking good care of your Scarlet Tassel.

Scarlet tassel flower plants are not associated with any significant disease or pest issues. However, keep an eye on common pests like aphids, spider mites, thrips, etc. Maintain good watering practice to prevent any fungal diseases and root rots.
