Verbena Bonariensis
I have a new VB which has done really well. Lots of flowers, height and spread. It is still in flower now, but the flowers are beginning to go. Can I just cut the plant down? or should I keep deadheading it? Thankyou I think you're best waiting till by Captain Pugwash

Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' pruning
is the best time of the year to do this? Should it be done late spring after flowering to allow new growth this year? Prune it back right after flowering. Cut all the stems that have flowered right back as hard as you like. Leave any younger stems by LeadFarmer

I have a couple of very large Penstemons in my garden, which were lovely for a couple of years, but got too large so I cut them back.  They are still growing well but I had virtually no flowers last summer.   Was this because I cut them back by Novice23

Flies in my garlic plants
don't use it. No, you shouldn't have cut the tops off, you should have left them and cut the flowers off to stop them flowering. The flies will now be getting into the bulbs and I don't think they'll be edible. by Stephanie_17

Amaryllis Bulbs
Please ? Dear Graceland, It is possible to get amaryllis bulbs to rebloom. In the commercial world I understand they recommend this: After flowering cut off the flower, and when the stem droops, cut it right back to the top of the bulb. Water by GRACELAND
