Question

My pentas are about 2 years old 3 feet tall. I dead head regularly and blooming continues. However, the plants are getting woody and not so lush,, Should they be cut back?

Answer 1

Yes, if they are getting woody you can cut them back to within a few inches of the ground in the fall. Since spring is coming up, it won't hurt to cut them back now, as far as you need to.
