When to prune:
Late spring or early summer (after new growth has started). Avoid pruning in fall or during frosts.

How to prune:

  • Lightly trim the tips to shape the plant.

  • Never cut into old, brown wood – it won’t regenerate!

  • Remove dead or dry branches for better airflow.

  • For topiary or formal shapes, you can prune again in late summer.
