Perennial pruning
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 Dvd |

It meant much the same as dead heading. I believe I read it in a gardening article on a newspaper website. |
