First Pinching: Start pinching stems in spring when the plants have reached a height of about 6 inches in length. To pinch them back, grab a stem between your thumb and index finger about 2 to 3 inches above the base of the plant, and just above a leaf, and simply pinch it off. Second Pinching: After the first pinching, new stems will emerge from just beneath where you initially pinched the plants. When these new stems have reached 6 inches in length pinch them back by about 2 to 3 inches just above a leaf. Continue this process for each stem of the plant. Thereafter: You can repeat this process until mid-July at which time you can cease pruning and allow the plant to grow and produce buds that will bloom in fall. Pinching back any later than mid-July can reduce the number of flower buds.
