Pruning Blue Spirea (caryopteris) and Buddelia (Butterfly bush)
How hard and when should I prune back my Blue Spirea? It did so-so this year. Should I whack it right to the ground in spring? The Butterfly Bush was a decided underperformer. Lanky describes it. How should I prune it? Zone 5, southern Wisconsin banana belt. -- Reply to me at louis little punctuation mark ohland with the same ISP |
