Pruning for Winter

Which Plants Should You Prune?

Avoid common pruning mistakes by following these tips. Cutting back plants at the right time can encourage new growth and flowering, and avoid pruning off precious flower buds.

These plants set their buds on old wood, it’s best to prune them within the few weeks after they bloom:

Azaleas and rhododendrons
Forsythia
Lilacs
SOME Hydrangeas. Oakleaf, Endless Summer, Climbing, Mophead and Bigleaf (macrophylla).
Mock Orange
Flowering Quince
Magnolia
Viburnum

Resist the urge to cut back these perennials in the fall. These plants should be left until spring as their roots are more vulnerable to winter damage. Leaving the foliage will protect them:

Ladies Mantle
Coral Bells
Montauk Daisy
Hardy Mums
Red Hot Poker
Lavender
Russian sage

These perennials are evergreen and should be left up for winter:

Candytuft
Heathers
Hellebore
Hardy Geranium
Epimedium
Dianthus
Hens and chicks
Primrose
