In a post last August, I moaned and groaned about the recommendation of local garden guru, Andrew May, when he suggested it was time to fertilize, cut back, plunder, pinch back new growth, and add soil to our hanging baskets. My baskets were beautiful. But he was right. These photos were taken this weekend. I’ve never had baskets that have lasted so long in to November. They will come down soon. Frost is around the corner, but it has been lovely. Thank you, Andrew.
You are absolutely correct; it must be difficult to prune this lovely plant and others that you are still enjoying. Frost has killed all of ours already, and despite a determination to try to enjoy winter this year, I dread its approach!
I will have to do the same next year, if I can think about it. Really a great looking basket.
Beautiful flowers! Your yard this year has been exceptional.
Bountiful hanging baskets. I can see it was worth the severity.
