Good to know about pruning! Last year, I got a little .. uh.. crazy with my weedwacker & got a wee bit too close to Perfect Moment.
BBZZZZTT!!! oops
Eeyup, wacked it all the way down to about 6" from the ground.. no leaves left, just some tattered canes. I was about to cry. Few days later, new leaves. About 2 weeks later, it was about 18" tall.
Hoping that it'll survive the winter.
