Guessing that about end of March, but obviously it will differ as i think were in differnt parts of country.
If you don't mind i may come back and ask for some more advice at the time, because i had a look yesterday and below the flower stalk there seem to about 6 set of leaves of each stem, 3 on each side.
So do i cut each one of these 6 leaves back individually or do i find the lowest leaf which is regrowing and cut the stem off above that and then trim that leaf?
cheers
