Evening Primrose

Morning,

My Evening Primrose's have had some of the flower stems flattened (silly me didn't think to put in supports ), can I cut them back now and get a second flush, keeping the couple of still upright stems?

Thanks.

I expect so. They are quite a thug, so should grow back.

 

Thanks @Kristen , will get the secutuers to them tomorrow after work.

 

I chopped mine right back as they had got very leggy, lo and behold they came back twice as robust they are a very forgiving and make a lovely display for ages.

 

I think that is half the problem with mine, very leggy (the plants Shiney, the plants!), I have 3 quite close together so will move a couple next spring and also divide them.

I'll get out and do it a bit later when it has cooled down, as still feeling a bit of heat stroke.

Thanks for the advice all.

 

I have staked 2 of the plants, the other has been cut down and removed, I am going to replant in a different part of the garden. The 2 that have been staked, look a little untidy, but at least they are not flopping all over the other plants.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
