How to keep Echinops Strigosus.
Pruning
The rough-leaf globe thistle is known for its spiky, globe-shaped flowers and thrives when pruned correctly. To promote healthy growth, prune in early spring by removing any damaged stems and trimming the plant to one-third of its height. Deadheading encourages more blooms, and regular pruning improves the plant's health and air circulation. Always use sharp, clean tools to prevent the spread of infection.
