Can I Trim My Impatiens When I Transplant Them Outside

Question

My impatiens are a bit tall and was just wondering if i should trim before I transplant or after

Answer 1

I would not, unless they are not showing any signs of flowering. Generally, tall plants will indicate that there was a lack of light during the growth phase.

If they are not showing buds at all, then it may be safe to prune them lightly.
