usually grow. Can somebody tell me if these should also be stopped as per

It's a bit more complicated, Robert.
You have to take out the crown bud when it appears, then
pinch out until you have 3 or 4 buds.
Doesn't sound much does it, but if you don't and just
leave things you will not grow the "Queen of the Autumn".
It's a wonderful flower to grow properly and believe me
it's addictive!
I can recommend "Growing Lates "by Ivor Mace.
Woolman's used to sell it.
Persevere - you won't be sorry.
