Here's the plant that taught me- H. calycina. Note that I have tied it down twice- each time the lowered growth point stops growing and a new branch starts at the very highest point of the plant. I try to let the new stems get as long as possible now, before tying them in. That can be tricky, as the long stems try to grab hold of everything, and are fragile to boot.
