I will have to ler Elizabeth answer that, I never pinch brugs, I do trim woody stems that are going everywhich way, but I have never "pinched" a brug? I pinch basil, my tomatoes, and coleus, but read somewhere that you shouldn't pinch brugs, so I don't. Not saying you can't, mind you.. wish I could remember where I saw that statement at, tho..
I gave away a few brugs to some master gardeners, one in particular I had grown from seed purchased from seedsprout ( brenda) and when I asked them at end of the year how it bloomed, they told me it never did so they trashed it, I asked them how they cared for it, and they said like any other shrub, pinching and pruning to make the blooms come .. I wish now I had half of the brugs I gave away.. most of the ones I gave away were hybrids I grew out from seeds. *sigh* I LOVE growing things from seed..
