I can't remember if I threw Ozmocote on it when I fertilized everything else this spring. It does attract lots of bees and butterflies and there's usually a dove's nest in there somewhere. Here's a photo of it last year so you can see how much it grew in one year. I pruned it in the fall, so it's fuller this year than last, but that's all I ever do to it. I did have a guy stop and take pictures of it last year with his cell phone. I went out to speak to him and he said he just wanted his wife to see the pic because she'd never believe him if he told her about it.
