Pruning
Thrift mock goldenweed, known for its vibrant golden-yellow flowers, benefits from early spring pruning. Trim about one-third of the plant to encourage dense growth and improve air circulation. Be sure to remove any dead or damaged stems to enhance the plant's health. However, avoid heavy pruning while the plant is in bloom, as this can harm the flowers. Regular pruning helps rejuvenate older plants and prevents them from becoming too leggy.
