Well I did it- I pruned the "monster"! I left the height, just pruned some of the stems at the edges where it was crowding the A Heatwave hybrid in front of it and the A Aurantiaca Apricot Sprite that is diagonally from it. It still looks beautiful and now the others can grow better. I also moved the A Rupestris on that same side forward a little (it is in front of the A Heatwave) because I guess my measuring was off- the A Rupestris on the opposite side was in correct position to give A Heatwave adequate room. Then in the center of the bed I moved the 2 A Salmon and Pink, which should be the shortest of them all, to the front and put the 2 A Cana behind them and in front of the A Aurantiaca Apricot Sprites. Then I have 2 spots at the back for the 2 A Avas which will come this week. They will be between the 2 A Blue Boas in the back row of the bed. I think it is going to look very nice with a good view of all (as long as there are no more huge surprises with size). It will be great to have that flower bed full and complete.
