Pruning: Rose of Heaven don't require extensive pruning; however, you can deadhead spent flowers to encourage fuller blooms. Trim inflorescences or flowering stalks to about two inches, and prune stems and branches after the flowers have bloomed. Time your pruning to before the seeds have matured, so the plant puts its energy toward its flowers instead of forming seeds.
​
These blooms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stalks with flowers that are 3/4 opened and place them in water immediately; strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water.
