It is not a shrub that looks good as a topiary or anything that harsh just knock the tips back a few inches at the most and that will force new growth.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-24510054165366582612015-06-12T20:04:40.219+00:002015-06-12T20:04:40.219+00:00I haven't had a bush compliment in years (*sig...I haven't had a bush compliment in years (*sigh*)Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-11028963910300016962015-06-12T19:05:17.901+00:002015-06-12T19:05:17.901+00:00Very pretty bush.Very pretty bush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-56449174205465353902015-06-12T18:57:34.502+00:002015-06-12T18:57:34.502+00:00I nearly bought one yesterday but realized that I ...I nearly bought one yesterday but realized that I have no idea where to put it yet - that is gorgeous!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-59458088546556911642015-06-12T18:48:57.150+00:002015-06-12T18:48:57.150+00:00I like the lady next door's bush but she won&#...I like the lady next door's bush but she won't let me have a bit of it.
