Do you prune your agastache for height control?

12 years ago

Mine stayed green all winter and I only clipped off the dead parts this spring. I'm thinking I should have done some serious clipping back at that time too. Now it's too late ... the plants are beginning to bloom and they're about twice as tall as they were last year. Do you prune yours and when?

I never prune mine. In early spring I cut off the dead parts and the main part of the plant is growing. Then I don't ever prune again and just let them grow all summer.
