| Planted one today and noted in it's description it stated will flower all summer long if trimmed in late June and July. What do they mean by "trim"? I was assuming that if it's flowering, how would you trim it? Thanks- Paul |

| This is a shrubby Potentilla, rather than herbaceous. By trimming, it just means going over the bush with the garden shears removing the dead flowers. It is true that it's sometimes tricky as it keep on flowering. But you can sacrifice a few flowers for the sake of a better show later. |
