I keep the heads on over Winter and cut off in Spring, just as the new buds are coming. My mophead ones are beautiful as a dried flower - leave on the plant as they start turning dry and snip off before totally brown.
Hi there! Lovely colours all those lilies. Almost makes me wish I grew them in my garden. I am posting photos of an intriguing plant new to my garden, Physostegia virginiana 'Bouquet Rose' aka Obedient Plant. When you move the flowers (gently) they will remain in their new position for at least one day.
What a wonderful front garden Chris Bet it has passers by stopping and staring, and then leaving with a smile on their faces .....it would certainly brighten my day
