Come to think of it mine wasn't appearing dead around April, little leaves were forming, yours coulda bit the dust.
But, I remember it always looked like a bunch of brown twigs most of the time. I never cut it back and I always had them. I'll cut it back in late Winter now that I know you can.
I'd like to make mine more bushy and full looking but I don't think you can do that, you'll be cutting off the blooms.
5 feet tall and leggy might be the look I have, it's about done blooming.
