Woody Daisy Bush Pruning

Question

I have two margarita daisy bushes which were originally like Pom poms on sticks. They have been a bit damaged and have lots of straggly gaps. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to prune the bush into a ball shape again, or would this damage the plant? Thanks!

Answer 1

Being short lived, they do benefit from constant deadheading. I don't see it being an issue to prune it up some. Here is an article for more information:
