How to keep Isocoma Arguta.
Pruning
The Carquinez goldenbush is a distinctive shrub known for its stunning golden flowers. To keep it healthy and attractive, it's best to prune the plant in early spring. This is the ideal time to remove any dead wood, shape the shrub, and improve air circulation. Be sure to avoid heavy pruning during the flowering period, as this can diminish its visual appeal. Proper pruning not only enhances blooming but also prevents overcrowding, leading to healthier plants.
