Rozanne cranesbill — October
Check this first
Rozanne needs no scheduled pruning now. Keep green leaves and flowers; fully dead remains can be left until spring.
Pay attention to this
- Locate young shoots among the old stems before cutting low.
- If space is tight, trim only the overhanging edge first, rather than the whole clump.
- Postpone a rejuvenating summer cut during drought stress; recovery requires enough soil moisture.
