I read somewhere about a year ago a specific term used in regard to pruning
perennials. I can't for the life of me remember it, which is unusual because
it was a verb. Usually, it's the darn nouns that vanish.

If anyone can help, I'd much appreciate it,

Thank you

Probably not the word you're looking for (and it applies to some shrubs
as well), but there's "dead-heading".
