Santolina chamaecyparissus pruning time

We can do no great things, only small things with great love. ~Mother Teresa






Pruning Cotton Lavender now makes it looking better for the rest of the year. Even cutting back very short will do no harm - it will be fine. Next pruning time comes in August.


Look how much I have pruned it last year -- >> Santolina pruning 2009

    A few days ago I also pruned my santolinas and lavenders back....and this time I really pruned hard so that I'm wondering whether it wasn't too much. Let's wait and see. If the weather doesn't turn to winter temperatures, it should be ok. Otherwise I have to buy new plants ;-(!
    Happy Easter to you with hopefully nice weather (here it is raining and cold),

    Sheila,
    if it starts to bloom, the best time to prune it is end of summer - I wonder where are you located.

    Barbara,
    I used to prune them really hard in March - no cold stopped them from turning back :)
    Happy Easter to you too.
    I am lucky this time - Western Poland is having snow/rain, mid Poland (me) is having beatiful sunshine and spring weather.
