when to prune heather




Answers

 

To keep it bushy, I give the flowering stems a 'haircut' after they finish flowering. Depending on when they finish flowering that might be in spring or even later. Just prune the green growth, not the woody stems. They put on new growth very quickly.

In fact at Edinburgh Botanics they use a strimmer!
