I don’t trim them at all. New growth happens on the seemingly ‘dead’ branches. Surprised me, really.

My mom had a green thumb. She could grow anything. She would put it in the ground & it would grow & bloom. I can’t recall her doing anything special with hers. I sure wish I had her luck. My plants do well but not like her flowers etc.

Its almost like a talent the way plants grow for some people..I guess God hit them in the head with a “you can grow plants” stick before they were born...:O)

My mom used to plant garlic by roses, toss coffee grounds around them & she had the most beautiful roses. When I was a child she had an English garden. Bleeding Hearts were my favorite...I used to hid there & read books for hours. I often wonder if the new owners destroyed her garden. I hope not. I think that is why I never showed my children that house. I don’t want to lose that memory of her beloved garden.

I sure understand your not wanted to see the place without your mom's garden...I drove by the farm I use to have and was sad at how it wasn't given the loving care it needed..
I think gardens draw in new buyers but they don't realize gardens take work...
To: goat granny
I think you are correct. I just wish my mom had made some plant clippings & taken her bulbs etc. We moved in winter so she didn't. Some of her flowers came off my grandparent's farm.

They have to have mostly shade in hot climates, lots of water and trim them only after they bloom. If you prune them in the fall or winter, you will cut off all next year’s blossoms.

There are new reblooming varieties that are pruned differently.
