This is a great photo; I have the plant growing in a little rocky space in full sun. Our summers here get into the triple digits and it does well. However I don't know if it should be cut back nearly to the ground or divided to renew its growth. We are considered high desert and must use river water for irrigation to garden; this plant gets ample water every other day, and it is about the size of yours in the pic. Can you tell me if I should cut it drastically or divide it ? THanks much. Mizzmik
