How to keep Pimelea Alpina.
Pruning
The compact, evergreen shrub known as the alpine rice-flower thrives when pruned in early spring. Pruning helps to stimulate growth and maintain the shrub's shape. To do this, remove any weak stems just above the leaf nodes. Be sure to sterilize your tools beforehand to prevent the spread of disease. Regular trimming not only enhances blooming and overall health but also prevents legginess, ensuring your alpine rice-flower remains vibrant and visually appealing.
