Maintenance | The blooms are formed on the new wood. Pruning in the fall or early spring will produce lots of new wood. At this time you can control the height, spread, and shape of the plant, by the amount that is pruned. I like to use hand pruners, not hedge shears. With hand pruners, I can better control the shape and the cuts are more precise. Thinning can help reduce some of the weight off the branches Can be pruned back hard. |
