    Thank you for sharing. I clicked on this video wondering what plant it was...I didnt realize it was called this, but only knew it as Turks Cap. Glad I watched!

    I had heard of this combo (Turks cap and spider wart) on this channel before. What a nice way to extend the seasonal interest.
    I also appreciated Leslie explaining how you can prune the Turks cap in different ways as I was just wondering when and how I was going to prune mine😊Thanks!

      I planted mine in a very thick clay as a stick last spring and it grew to 3 foot! I just trimmed it back to the ground and excited to see how well it does this year ❤

      Yes, for sure! I have many of them in my Blackland Prairie soil. One of the best plants ever!

    I noticed on my Turks Cap, new growth started coming out on the previous years growth. so, I don't cut it back.

      Thanks for sharing that. This was mines first trim. And I cut it to the ground. But since want for privacy, I will just trim it next year. Thanks for sharing!

      Yes, indeed, and Leslie mentions that. It just depends on how your plants fared in freeze and your visual appeal.

      @@carlaephotography7096 It does well by pruning back to the ground. I always do that when it totally freezes back, but may prune higher in warmer winters if there's already leaves (but cut back above a node). Very tolerant plant and comes back so easily however you cut!
