Coleup, from what I read, Missouri Botanical Garden doesn't say anything about pruning, but the Perennial Resource webpage says to cut back after flowering, so I might give that a try later in the fall.

Mine was much smaller when I got it and had no blooms. It's done well in the sunny spot where it is now, but I notice that the stems tend to droop downward.

Other excitement for the morning (takes so little to make me happy--LOL):
(1) my little swallowtail cat has gotten bigger and fatter! Fortunately, plenty of fennel left for him to eat.
(2) The berries have begun to redden--yay!
(3) Nicely growing volunteer. Could it be a columbine?? Or something else?
