Pruning
Tree seaside tansy benefits greatly from pruning in early spring, which encourages new growth and flowering. To achieve the best results, focus on removing dead branches, thinning out crowded areas to improve air circulation, and shaping the plant for a more appealing appearance. Regular pruning not only enhances the density of the foliage and encourages vibrant blooms but also boosts overall plant health and helps prevent pests.
