Anyone else noticed that theirs is doing particularly well this year?
I've
never seen ours so well covered in flowers and it's put on a lot of new
growth, too. I'm wondering if it's the very severe cutting back it got
last
year for the seriously cold spell we had. Perhaps it responds best to
brutal treatment!
I've no idea which it is as it was planted long ago but it's a deep
coral
colour.

Wow, Sacha, that is amazingly beautiful! Mine is flowering well this year,
but it's a twig by comparison. Pruning does seem to help, although I'm not
sure I've got it snip-perfect yet, but it certainly seems to make a
difference.
