How to keep Desmodium Nudiflorum.

Pruning

Nakedflower ticktrefoil is known for its delicate purple flowers and thrives with pruning from early to late spring. To maintain its health and appearance, trim any dead or damaged stems and shape the plant by cutting above the nodes to encourage branching. This practice promotes fuller growth, improves air circulation, reduces the risk of fungal diseases, and enhances blooming throughout the growing season.
