It's my fault...i didn't prune it back last fall after it grew huge over the summer. Now much of it is really scraggly, with growth at the tips and dead leaves in the middle and base.
i'm thinking that because was had a relatively mild winter, it never really stopped growing until maybe mid january/febuary, when it started getting cold. Now it looks horrible. I pruned it a little to get rid of totally dead branches, and took some tip cuttings two weeks ago that are rooting indoors. some even rooted in water, which i never saw before.
Anyway, how far back can I prune wuthout killing it? It's 3 years old, and about 3' long x 2' wide (I layered a branch into the ground to make it more like a hedge). last summer it bloomed profusely and beautifully all summer. I know my laziness is going to cost alot of blooms this summer, but I don't want to kill it completely. I made the cuttings just in case, but that will take another 2+ years to get into prime blooming size.
Drats, mea culpa! any suggestions on what to do?
thanks,
joy
