FBTS said:Our experience with these is that they need to be cut back hard after every bloom cycle. The exception seems to be the dry inter-mountain area of the west, where this was developed. Of course local nurseries want them to bloom for sale, and hence won't cut them back for proper growth. Don't be shy - give them a hard haircut to keep them compact.


@FBTS

What do you mean by "they need to be cut back hard after every bloom cycle" ? Mine just keeps putting out buds and flowers. I do deadhead the individual flowers and the the stems if any that are finished blooming.
