The “Chelsea Chop” is a simple late-spring pruning technique that helps many native perennials grow shorter, sturdier, and bushier — with fewer floppy stems and longer-lasting blooms later in the season.

By cutting back plants by about 1/3 to 1/2 around late May through June, gardeners can:
• reduce flopping
• encourage branching
• stagger bloom times
• create a tidier, fuller look
