Seattle Prune leggy perennials
Leggy perennials can be a common issue for homeowners in Seattle. These plants, which have grown long and spindly due to inadequate sunlight or improper pruning, can detract from your garden’s beauty and health. The quick solution? Pruning these perennials back to promote bushier growth and enhance their overall appearance. Not only does this improve curb appeal, but it also creates a safer and more eco-friendly environment while saving you time and effort in maintenance.
