✂ Cutting Back Annuals and Perennials in Summer ✂ "August Audience Challenge" Topic

We're cutting back perennials in summer in order to encourage reblooming or to shape them up for the remainder of the summer. This is an audience-picked topic, by Thy Nguyen, who submitted this as part of our August Audience Challenge for our Saturday Live Garden Chat!! In this video, we will be cutting back perennials and a few annuals, including yarrow, lavender, salvia, calibrachoa, and more. We'll explain why we're cutting back perennials now, show you where to make your cuts for each plant to encourage more blooms (for some of the plants), and more. 🌿
