What a difference – you are a very neat pruner!
It’s an easy plant to prune.
There is a big difference but I prefer it unpruned. That is not really fair as it is a question of style and I am being egoistical and thinking of my garden. Amelia
I have pruned and un-pruned in my garden, depending where they are, for these steps leading to the vegetable garden I like them as domes.
You made this test an easy one! What a versatile plant–looks nice both ways.
Yes, it is good free form and pruned, it flowers more profusely un-pruned but even the pruned ones will flower.
That is a difference, must have been a very satisfying pruning job! Nice view too through to your vegetable garden.
The steps up to the vegetable garden need something solid to enhance them.
A perfect matching pair! Not easy to accomplish.
Thanks, they weren’t the same size when I began pruning so I’m extra pleased that they are now the same size.
Well done!
How very smart the pruned ones are – so architectural!
Teucrium is a great plant especially here as it is probably the most drought tolerant flowing plant I have.
Great makeover! Pruning always gives me such a sense of accomplishment.
Yes, you can really see what you’ve done.
Feel free to ‘steal’ my titles, Christina – I shan’t hold it against you! – and if you hadn’t labelled your photos I would never have worked it out 😉
WOW! What a perfect job. You make me feel lazy for my unpruned box hedge 🙂
I don’t prune all the Teucrium as I like it un-pruned too; the box is all pruned once a year although this year it may need a second trim as it has continued to grow throughout the summer which, of course, it rarely does.
Wow! Both are beautiful!
