Re: Pinching plants


Where are you growing these?  The achillea needs full sun to be its best.  I
wouldn't pinch any of these back, except maybe the salvia.  The buddleia
should be cut back to about a foot above ground right now.  It blooms on new
wood and will regain its size quite quickly.  Coreopsis should be just fine
on its own--again full sun.

The lilies, leave alone until after they bloom and cut back by one-third.
Anything else, you will lose your blooms.  Astilbes--leave alone.

You might want to improve your soil/light conditions.  Tell me more about
where they are growing.
