Is pruning necessary for my Pinwheel flower?

Before your Pinwheel flower hedge begins taking over the sidewalk, or your hanging basket Pinwheel flowers start to look scraggly, it is a good idea to think about pruning. Without proper maintenance, Pinwheel flower may grow rapidly and uncontrollably, crowding out other plants. If you decide to include Pinwheel flower in your garden or landscaping plan, you should monitor its growth carefully and have a plan for pruning. Pruning is as important for the Pinwheel flower as it is for any other ornamental plant species that you may choose to grow in your garden. If you prune this plant properly, you can enhance its overall health while preserving its most showy ornamental features. With that said, you cannot expect to reap those benefits if you don’t know when and how to prune this species. In fact, improper pruning can cause you to remove the season’s blooms, detracting significantly from the Pinwheel flower’s beauty. Even if you live in a cooler area or only plan to grow Pinwheel flower in pots or hanging baskets, regular pruning can encourage blooming and keep your plants healthy and vigorous.
