The fan flower is not hardy and must be brought into the house for the winter
How should I overwinter my fan flower?
The fan flower is not hardy. For convenience, she is often cultivated only one year, simply disposed of at the end of the season and bought new next year. But that does not have to be, because it is relatively easy to overwinter.
Before you bring the fan flower into its bright and frost-free winter quarters, you can cut back the plant. So it needs less space and diseases and pests have less attack surface. As winter quarters cool staircases or the conservatory are suitable. Care is limited to occasional watering in winter. Fertilizer does not need your fan flower at this time.
