Q: When can I prune my verigated dogwood? I live in Zone 4.

Q: We purchased and planted six yucca plants in our flower bed (Dallas, TX) last August and only one bloomed this summer. That one long stem bloomed for a few weeks and remains with 'dead pods' on it. These are planted in beds with three on each side of the sidewalk, facing southwest. One side get more tree shade than the other (where bloom is.) Our beds are well-worked, with peat and landscape mix, and well watered. Should the bloom stem be cut off? Is there a fertilizer for them to shoot out more blooms? Thanks for any info you might offer! MJ
