How to prune gomphrena haageana 'strawberry fields'

Pinch at transplant time in late spring; deadhead throughout summer. Pinch growing tips once when plants are 4–6 inches tall. Deadhead by cutting spent flower heads back to the nearest healthy leaf or side shoot to encourage a second flush.

Pinch once; deadhead every 1–2 weeks during peak season. Gomphrena 'Strawberry Fields' is a heat-tough annual that needs light pinching early on to build a bushy habit, then periodic deadheading to sustain the vivid red-orange blooms. Flowers also dry well on the plant, so deadheading is optional if you want everlasting stems. No hard pruning is required.
