How to Prune King's spear?
(Asphodeline lutea)
King's spear, also known as Jacob's rod
A perennial herb with bright yellow flowers, king's spear thrives with minimal pruning. Cut back spent flower stalks to the base after blossoming to encourage vegetative growth. Pruning can occur at any time, keeping the evergreen foliage intact for year-round interest. Regular removal of damaged or withered leaves maintains plant health and appearance. Pruning enhances vigor, prevents seed dispersion and may promote a secondary bloom period in favorable climates.
