Chelsea Chop

I have several sedums...I experimented the 'chelsea chop' on half the sedums. To date the ones that had the 'chelsea chop' are compact and the flower heads are more upright and the plants don't seem to 'topple' over. The other half are tall and need staking because of the height!! So I'm happy to repeat the chop again next year.

I also 'chelsea chop'  my phloxes. They don't look happy!! Not too many flower heads. Should I have done the chop on these? Your opinions greatly welcomed.

    Tks for your prompt reply.

  • Tks Verdun... no chelsea chop on my phlox next year.

  • i had  very sad and floppy sedum a year or two ago... divided, and now have 6 or 7 vigorous sedums!

    geranium seem to respond really well to Chelsea/ june/ even early July chop!

  • Ooh I did not know about Cosmos. I will chop some early in the morning then the rain (please!) will revive them. Thanks Verdun. Again!
