How to prune felicia rose

Late winter for the annual structural prune; after each flowering flush in summer. Shorten main stems by one-third and side shoots by half in late winter. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing stems at the base. Deadhead spent clusters by cutting to a healthy outward-facing bud. Renovate only if badly overgrown by removing one in four or five canes from the base.

Annually; deadhead after each flush through summer. Felicia is a repeat-blooming hybrid musk that flowers best on older wood, so only light pruning is warranted. In late winter, reduce main stems by one-third and side shoots by half. After each summer flush, remove spent flower clusters to trigger the next. Hard pruning ruins the plant's natural rounded shape and should be avoided unless renovation is absolutely necessary.
