Chrissie Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Can anyone tell me what this edging plant is, in English or in French, and how/when I should prune it? It is just coming out now and will be in flower for about 3-4 weeks, after which it just gets leggy and rather boring. I wondered about strimming it well back after the flowers have finished......... ThanksChrissie(81)[URL=http://s206.photobucket.com/user/chrissie_081/media/IMG_0553_1_zpsf01c7945.jpg.html][IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/chrissie_081/IMG_0553_1_zpsf01c7945.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s206.photobucket.com/user/chrissie_081/media/IMG_0554_zps9906afd4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/chrissie_081/IMG_0554_zps9906afd4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukhostland Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi Chrissie,it's a little alpine Phlox, perhaps P. bifida, and yes you can trim it back after flowering to keep it tidy.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissie Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm sure I could pop round and tidy yours up a bit - but my fees are extortionate![6]Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
