Aubretia

hazelparry@ asks:

Question

Can you help, my perenial aubretia has flowers again after deadheading a short time ago but the plants are very leggy with about 6 inches of dry stem before greenery and flowers, what shall I do?


Answer

The only way to get rid of the bare stems it to cut the Aubretia plant all the way back. This is best done at the end of the season after the plant is done flowering. However, you can cut the plant back during the growing season but it will obviously look poor for a period of time.

It is common practice to cut Aubretia all the way back at the end of each season after flowering to keep the plant compact and your garden healthy.
