Prune
Plants that bloom and rejoice in the cooler nights have to be pruned before new buds emerge. You will have to do it no later than September 22, otherwise, you might interrupt the blooming cycle, warns Joel Crippen, the Display Garden Horticulturist with Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County. When it comes to the plants that don’t do well during cooler weeks, these have to be cut all the way back and prepared for their spring awakening.
