Deadhead after flowering in summer; remove winter damage in early spring. Cut spent flower stems to their base. In early spring, trim or pull dead leaves from the crown without disturbing healthy growth. Divide by lifting and splitting the crown in early spring if clumps become woody or congested.
How often does heucherella sweet tea need pruning?
Deadhead as blooms fade; light annual spring tidy; divide every 3–4 years. Heucherella Sweet Tea needs modest pruning. Cut back spent flower stems at the base after late-spring to summer blooming to keep the plant looking neat. In early spring, remove any dead or winter-damaged leaves from the crown. The foliage is the main feature — avoid hard cutback. Divide congested clumps every 3–4 years in spring to maintain vigour.
