I'd be interested, myself, in finding out whether to cut this child
back. Got it last year; when it first came up this year and bloomed,
it was lovely - compact and very floriferous. Then, it started
sprawling - thought the torrential rains here might have caused this,
but if yours sprawls, Bill, seems like that may be its nature. Been
eyeing it lately and wondering if I should give it a haircut - still
throwing the odd flower.
So all of you who grow this - what do you do?
