It did give those beautiful red flowers with that distinctive texture during the summer but the plant also needed support at that time. Too long after it had finished flowering I finally decided to trim it back...quite severely. I should have done this much sooner as it rebloomed just as well and grew to a self-supporting height. This second flush has lasted all of October and to a lesser extent into November. It has had little difficulty dealing with several frosts in this time. I highly recommend this plant for the prolonged bloom period. |
