Pink Firespike

Question

My firespike survived the winter and is about 6-feet tall and the hummingbirds are feeding on it. Beautiful plant! Some leaves do not look good. Should I cut it back and, if so, how much. I have had different opinions on what to do. Thank you.

Answer 1

It should be fine if you cut it back a few times a year, whenever it gets too long or unruly. Here's an article about how to care for firespike:
