My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Should Liatris be cut back after bloom?

20 years ago

I've never done it before but just wondering if doing so helps reinvigorate the plant at all. And even if it isn't necessary, will doing so because it's too overgrown harm the plant?
