Heathers

  Q    
When do I prune my Heathers?
       
  A    

Winter-flowering heathers should be lightly trimmed and tidied up, with shears, in March or April or after flowering to produce

plenty of new growth for flowering the following winter.

       
 
  Q    
When is the best time to tidy up/trim my Callunas?
       
  A    

Callunas benefit from an annual trim in early spring

 

Trim young callunas with sharp secateurs,and cut off all the old flower heads.

 

This should induce bushy new shoots to form which should flower in late summer.
