2 pruning questions; verbena bon. and creeping Thyme

josine2302 · 2018-09-08 12:27:12

Hi, I have two questions, should I prune my verbena’s in the autumn or in spring, or aren’t they hardy at all? Question nr 2: I have a lovely but very fastgrowing creeping Thyme, what to do with that? Cut is down before winter or in spring. Or not at all.

The birds go for the VB seedheads. There will still plenty left to self-seed extremely freely. I cut them back to the lowest leaf when the birds have finished with them.

In London. Keen but lazy.
