After my candy tuft plants finish blooming there appears to be green seeds left. Will the seeds mature better on the plant or can I cut them off and save to plant later?

May 22, 2019A.Spring or fall is ideal for dividing and planting perennials. It should have about 6 weeks to get new roots going before stress from summer heat or winter cold hits. It is possible to plant in summer but extra precaution needs to be taken. Protect new summer plants from harsh sunlight by rigging up some shade for 2-3 days. This could be a paper bag attached to a stick, a box placed over the plant with the top and bottom open or another method, depending on what you have on hand.

Certified ExpertA.When the blooms are spent, it's best to cut it back to avoid it going to seed. If the plant is showing stress from relentless rain, then it is a good idea to trim it back. I would trim it to 2-3 inches above the soil surface instead of all the way to the ground. If Oklahoma begins to dry out, the plant might put on growth and make a reappearance before fall.
