This Beauty Bush came to me mail order with all the branches pointed in one direction. At first it wasn't doing much but has some new growth now. I have it in a gallon pot, and I've kept it with the branches pointing away from the sun in the hopes of coaxing them upward. It's growing more like a vine than a shrub. Should staking it be enough? I'd hate to cut it back hard at this young age, maybe wait a year and do that?
