Pruning
Pruning oblong bluecurls from early to late spring improves their overall health, shape, and blooming. By removing dead or overgrown branches, you encourage new growth and enhance air circulation, which reduces the risk of disease. Regular pruning helps maintain a strong structure and harmonizes with the plant's natural growth cycle.
