As soon as it starts to slack off, I take a third off the top, and it reblooms in about a week.<BR/><BR/>I'll cut many of my other summer perennials back by 1/3 in late May, just to keep them in bounds. It delays blooms on some of them, but it keeps them from getting too rangy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33495399.post-63329639964976757652007-03-15T10:00:00.000-06:002007-03-15T10:00:00.000-06:00Oh, Susan, that wisteria over the chairs must be b...Oh, Susan, that wisteria over the chairs must be breathtaking when open! <BR/>I had a starter plant in a deck container at the other house and enjoyed a modest display of blooms, but the container was too big to bring here.

Anything that's green and growing, let alone budded out like the rose, I have a hard time bringing myself to prune too severely. And then I pay for it by the end of June with a giant mish mash of plants growing every which-a-way.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582646420350461950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33495399.post-351966946372753522007-03-14T19:59:00.000-06:002007-03-14T19:59:00.000-06:00My salvia greggii are not blooming yet, probably b...My salvia greggii are not blooming yet, probably because I recently pruned them back very hard.
