Pruning
Widow's milkvetch is known for its delicate blooms and ability to tolerate drought. To help it thrive, it's important to prune the plant in early spring. Start by removing any damaged branches and overcrowded stems to improve growth and air circulation. Use clean tools to make precise cuts just above a node with outward-facing buds. This will prevent disease and promote vibrant foliage.
