A perennial known for its edible qualities, edible star-hawkbit flourishes with selective pruning. For optimal health and yield, prune in spring, summer, or fall, removing spent blooms and damaged leaves to encourage new growth. Regular trimming maintains shape and promotes vigorous growth. Specific to edible star-hawkbit, pruning enhances its edible yield and should be performed with clean, sharp tools to prevent disease. The practice also allows for better air circulation, reducing pest infestations.
