Heaths & Heathers
mattkime

will heather take a mid-summer trim?

mattkime
15 years ago

i have some i planted last year and some i planted this year. the ones planted last year are growing FAST and I'm afraid they'll push out the younger plants which haven't had a chance to establish themselves.

can i give the older heather a mid summer trim? I'm fairly certain that the plants in question are erica vulgaris.

thanks,

matt
