8. Delphinium: Prepare for a Second Show
Cut flower stalks back to the base after the first bloom to encourage a smaller second flowering. This practice redirects energy to new growth and improves overall plant health.
9. Phlox: Prevent Mildew and Encourage Blooms
Cut back Phlox by about one-third after the initial bloom to improve air circulation and reduce mildew risk. This also stimulates a second wave of flowering.
10. Veronica: Extend the Flowering Season
After blooming, cut back flower spikes and trim the plant by about one-third. This encourages more blooms and keeps the plant well-shaped and vigorous.
11. Penstemon: Enhance Flower Production
Cut Penstemon back by one-third after the first bloom to stimulate new flower production and manage its size and structure for a healthier, fuller plant.
12. Campanula: Keep the Garden Neat and Blooming
Trim Campanula by about one-third after flowering to promote a second bloom and prevent excessive self-seeding. This maintains both its charm and garden order.
13. Shasta Daisy: Encourage Re-Blooming
Deadhead and trim back Shasta Daisies by about one-third to extend the blooming period. This also prevents seed production and keeps the plant vigorous and neat.
