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.

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.
