How to prune calico flower

After main flowering flush; tidy any time in frost-free climates. Remove spent flower stems back to a healthy node or leaf. Cut out any dead, thin, or crossing shoots entirely. Shorten over-long stems by up to one-third if the plant is outgrowing its space. Avoid cutting hard into old bare stems.
