Joan New Brunswick Zone 4b   Plantynut  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, June 28, 2004 - 10:05 pm:    Exactly.

Not usually Arlene, I treat them a bit like fuchsias here in zone 8. I never trim them back in the Autumn when having a 'tidy-up', I wait until late spring when all risk of frost has gone. Anyway, that's a nice seedling Kath Zone 8b UK   Plantynut  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2004 - 05:11 am:    Maybe my lawn service crew is the cause. I never cut these back in the fall and I came home one day and noticed it chopped to the ground.

Tell the 'lawn service crew' to be more careful, of course in the nicest possible way Kath Zone 8b UK
