I hauled the planter indoors and put it in our heated basement in november and forgot about it. Checked it this weekend, .. the soil was dry, but it had many wonderful flowers. Watered it... can't believe it is so pretty with such neglect (the basement is completely dark and it had no water or anything for a few weeks). Here are some more pictures: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/kdjoergensen/gardenin... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/kdjoergensen/gardenin... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/kdjoergensen/gardenin... I am so excited. I can't wait for next year... Can someone tell me how to prune the plant ? Should I cut it back to a place just above "Y" or to nearest branch ? I expect it to grow some long, thin, skinny branches in the dark basement which I will naturally cut back, but how far back do you usually prune brugs ? |
