Mine;s exactly the same as that, but it's 2m high at the leaves, the flowers
go another metre higher (5 of them this year)...I 'tended' to it last year
and snapped off all the unwanted shoots from the bottom and slung them on
the compost, 3 weeks later they were still alive so I potted a few up, these
are now 2ft high and living in somone elses garden, I did a few more last
week and only leave about 2 inches of brown at the base and they grow very
easily.
