Pruning
Panoche pepperweed is known for its distinct peppery flavor and unique foliage. To maintain its health and appearance, prune it in early spring by removing dead stems and thinning crowded areas to improve airflow. Regular light pruning encourages bushier growth and helps shape the plant for aesthetic purposes, ensuring healthy regrowth and flowering in the following season.
