Leave a couple of inches of stems--so you can see where it is. These multiply by underground runners, so no need to baby them. Mine is a bit too tall as well. Need to pinch them back more during the spring/summer. They will grow lanky and sprawled if the stems are just allowed to grow. Will go out and take a picture for you.....make sure i am talking about the same plant. You can see how unruly it has grown in the first picture. BTW--when you pinch the leafy tips back next spring--just strip the stems a bit and stick them in a small pot. They root very readily. Gita |
