The dormancy theory makes sense to me...My consistent experience has been that the plant growth stagnates for a time, followed by a long period of rapid lush growth and blooming. As winter begins, I will start finding increasing amounts of brown leaves and stems, to the point I cut the entire plant back to only a few stems/leaves. It is a beautiful plant and worth the seasonal effort.
