To enhance growth and maintain the shape of your sawtooth sandmat, prune it in early spring. Use clean, sharp tools to remove dead stems and trim any overgrown branches, which will help prevent disease. Regular pruning also improves air circulation, keeping your sawtooth sandmat attractive and healthy all year round.
