Cutting down perennials for a second crop of flowers

  • I read somewhere, possibly here, that cutting back dehiniums and lupins hard shortens their life.  Probably, but they were wonderful this year but now look like enormous green hulks.  Not much else to come as they took up so much space.  Called putting all your delphiniums in one basket!

    Hester, I always cut back the delphs hard after they have bloomed and they keep on going, year after year, often with a second bloomimage
