Pruning
Purple mountainheath is a flowering shrub known for its bell-shaped blossoms and evergreen leaves. For best results, prune the shrub in early spring, focusing on removing dead wood and shaping any overgrown branches. Be cautious not to prune too heavily, as this can reduce the number of blooms. Regular pruning encourages healthy growth, abundant flowers, and helps reduce the risk of disease.
