    I think I'll wait until mid spring, using the dead cuttings as a mulch which gets reabsorbed into the soil.

    • @Gardenninja
      @Gardenninja  Рік тому

      That’s a good idea Barrios. I always cut now as if you leave it too long with grass and herbaceous the new growth starts to get hacked with the chop too! Depends on where you are and the climate you’re dealing with. 🥷🤘🌿 Happy gardening!

    Great prompting, Lee, I must get out there and get tidying up. I planted a small Potentilla shrub last year, and it's about 2' high, will it benefit from pruning this year, and if so, is this the time of year to do it, cheers James

    • @Gardenninja
      @Gardenninja  Рік тому +1

      Hi James. I love Potentillas. They need very little pruning to be honest. I usually just take off the tips which can get a little wind burnt in the winter. Hope that helps! 🥷🤘🌿

      Yes! It’s jacobs ladder. One of my favourite native alkaline loving wild flowers. Super easy to grow from seed. Checkout my guide here for more! www.gardenninja.co.uk/how-to-create-a-wildflower-meadow-the-easy-way/ 🥷🤘🌿

      Hi Jay. If it’s flowering then no. Leave it. Let it finish. When the flowers are spent in say March or April give it a trim with some secateurs to give it a nice relaxed shape. Try and avoid the blobby egg shapes! 😉🥷🤘🌿
