Pruning
Pruning tall tidytips is beneficial during early to late spring. To promote better air circulation and growth, remove any dead stems and thin out crowded areas. After the flowers have bloomed, doing some light trimming encourages additional blooms and helps maintain the plant’s shape. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools to prevent disease and enhance the plant’s visual appeal.
