Deadheading is important for keeping wallflowers healthy and full looking. To encourage ongoing blooming, pinch back spent blooms regularly. Once the plants have finished blooming, or in the early spring in warm climates, prune the stems back at least half to prevent them from getting leggy. In cooler climates, prune them in the fall so there is only a couple of inches left above the soil, and they will reward you with dense new growth once temperatures warm up again.

rozchodnik ościsty 'Angelina'
Sedum 'Angelina' will grow all over the yard…. It grows in sun or shade, with moist soil or dry, and spreads like crazy. It even plants itself from broken stems that blow around the yard! It's a gorgeous yellow green, and gets yellow flowers in early summer, but they aren't really attractive to bees. Works in beds, containers, or between pavers. It is semi evergreen, and gets a cool bronzy tip in the winter

the yellow-leaved shrub
For a totally different look that highlights the exfoliating bark of ninebark, you can choose a bunch of the thickest stems to save. Choose three, five, or seven, and make sure that they aren't crossing each other and that they have a similar angle coming out of the ground. Clean up any branches and small twigs off the stems as high as you can, leaving some at the top. These will become the trunks of your multistem, small ninebark "tree." As the tree grows through the years, keep removing the lower small branches and twigs off the large central leader trunks. As they mature, these trunks will have beautiful exfoliating white bark, and the tops will weep over, forming a beautiful flowering canopy. Any limbing up should be done from late spring to early fall.

Diablo ninebark is a sun-loving shrub whose foliage is interesting in spring, summer, and fall. During the spring and early summer, it sports dark purple foliage, which contrasts well next to brighter plants. The foliage tends to get greener as the weather heats up.
