No Dave I didn't.I have had this one for 2 years and forgot to cut it back last year its gone wild. I got the purple one from you and its doing great. All my others didn't do so good with the heat and drought this year so I would say this one is more tolerant of drought because where it's planted I really didn't try to water to much.

Eyes I am sure it will the first year this one didn't do much either and had few blooms and look at it now. It's bloomed off and on all summer. But now its really doing good all the rain we been getting gave it a nice drink after all the dry spell I guess. By the way this picture was taken today 10/13/02.

It sure is big. Mine is about the same size, and, like you, I didn't trim it last winter either.

I notice this plant blooms only on new growth, however, and it had much fewer blooms this year than last.

This winter, I'll be cutting it to the ground to force all new growth next spring. I already can't wait for spring. :)

I've just been given this. Will be interested to see how it does
I like the sound of it blooming on and off throughout the summer
Will have to find it a sunny sheltered spot
