Step 5: Maintain and Enjoy Flowering
Remove faded flowers when desired and trim plants after flowering or in early spring to encourage healthy seasonal growth. Pinching back stems earlier in the growing season can encourage bushier plants and help manage their height. Enjoy colorful autumn blooms that attract pollinators.
