Jack Sutcliffe, Co-Founder of Power Sheds agreed with the gardening pro and shared that rhododendron too should not be pruned in autumn.
He said: “Rhododendrons can add colour to your garden all year round. In the spring time they bloom purple, pink and white flowers, but these only appear on old wood so it’s important not to never prune them in autumn.
“If you do need to prune rhododendrons, the best time to do so is right after their blooms begin to fade in spring.”
Camellias
With glossy, evergreen leaves and pretty flowers that appear in late winter or spring, camellias are an early season star of the garden.
Flowers range from white and pink through to deep red, and come in many different forms including single, semi-double and peony.
Fiona said that camellias are better left unpruned except for a little deadheading. Although gardeners can remove the odd shoot in spring, if needed. She said: “As Camellias form their new buds during autumn, it’s important not to prune them during this time otherwise they won’t be able to flower.”
