How to Prune Largeflower fairybells?
(Prosartes smithii)
Largeflower fairybells, also known as Fairy lanterns
This perennial with bell-shaped flowers thrives with minimal pruning, mainly to remove dead or damaged foliage. For largeflower fairybells, timing is critical; prune in late fall after foliage dies back or in early spring before new growth starts. Slight thinning enhances air circulation, promoting plant health. Pruning during the active growth period, primarily summer, is discouraged to prevent stress. Regular pruning maintains the plant’s natural shape and encourages vigorous flowering.
