Pruning eccremocarpus scaber — FAQ
When should I prune eccremocarpus scaber?
Early spring, once frost risk has passed. Cut all stems back to within 30 cm (12 in) of the base or to the lowest set of healthy buds. Remove any frost-blackened stems entirely. Tie in new growth as it emerges to give it support.
How often does eccremocarpus scaber need pruning?
Annually in spring. Chilean glory flower is a fast-growing tender climber often treated as an annual in colder climates. In frost-free conditions, cut it back hard in early spring to prevent woody congestion and promote a fresh flush of flowering shoots. In frost-prone areas, it frequently dies back to the roots and regrows — just clear dead top-growth.
