Pruning monarda croftway pink — FAQ
When should I prune monarda croftway pink?
Deadhead throughout summer; cut to ground in late autumn or early spring. Snip spent flower heads just above the next leaf pair to encourage reblooming. In late autumn, cut all stems down to 5–10 cm above soil. In spring, divide crowded clumps by lifting and splitting, discarding the spent central portion.
How often does monarda croftway pink need pruning?
Deadhead throughout flowering season; annual hard cutback; divide every 2–3 years. Like all Monarda didyma cultivars, 'Croftway Pink' is cut back to ground level each year. Deadheading spent blooms through summer prolongs the flowering display and reduces self-seeding. This cultivar has moderate mildew resistance but still benefits from dividing every few years to keep the centre open and airy, reducing fungal pressure.
