-™ r ' -y o u may have heard' / ofthis term before, ; but what is it, why ;


•


B : is it called “The ^ _BL Chelsea Chop” and


more importantly, what does itdo?' The Chelsea chop is a form


ofpruningon perennial plants carried out at the time of Chel­ sea Flower Show. Any tall Summer flowering perenni­ als, such as Phlox, Heleniums, Asters and many more, have a tendency to produce long stems which bear flowers in. summer into Autumn. " ; -The problem lies in the fact


that these plants sometimes get a little too tall and they may not produce enough flower, which is whyyou would look to carry out “The Chelsea Chop” ■ You can only Chelsea Chop any perennials that flower from July onwards and have pairs o f alternate leaves all: the way up the stem. The first thing to do is to wait until the ■


foliage gets to 18 inches to two feet tall, which is normally at the time of Chelsea Flow­ er Show (leave it a little later this year due to the late sea­ son) then you would cut the plant down by a third. . 7. This removes the growth


tip and the top sets of leaves, but in the process of doing so will stop those stems getting any taller and tell the plant to ■ side shoot. Now out of the up­ per most leaf joints the plant will the send out new shoots : and where you remove one


stem you will getpossibly four to eight new stems produced


outofthesidesofthatshoot. Now that the clump has


more stems it will therefore produce lots more flowers,' and a side-effect of the Chel­ sea Chop is that you will also slightly delay the flowering time of the plant. This gener­ ally does not matter, but if you want to be a bit clever about it thenyou could only chop back the front half ofyour clump, as the back half will flower first and the chopped front half will flower slightly later and at a shorter level giving you a
