If you cut back after flowering and then cut a few inches off each new
long shoot about mid July it will form flowering shoots all along the
first new growth.

Nice one! I think I know why too.... meristems, apical dominance,
auxins and giberellins.

Been reading up on my botany ... Heh, heh. I don't think I will
ever see plants in quite the same way again.

Proof's in the pudding though. I'll try your suggestion this year.

Thankee
