How to prune schizanthus pinnatus 'angel wings'

Pinch young plants in early spring; deadhead during bloom period. Pinch the central growing tip once when seedlings are 3–4 inches tall to encourage branching. Remove spent flower clusters by snipping back to the nearest side shoot or leaf node to prolong the display.

Pinch once; deadhead regularly during the bloom period (spring). Schizanthus 'Angel Wings' is a cool-season annual that blooms once, typically in spring, before heat ends its season. Deadheading spent flower clusters modestly extends bloom. Pinch stem tips once when young to build a bushy plant. Once summer heat arrives, the plant declines naturally and replacement is the practical approach.
