I would like to know if anyone can tell me how to trim/cut it to make it bushy & not let it grow too big. It is not easy to advise. You have already made your choice~~ M. grandiflora is potentially a large growing wall shrub though can be free standing. To make it, as you wish, you could reduce growths in early spring but it seems so painful~~and probably very many years without flowering ; if at all. Doesn't the cultivar name suggest that 'not too big' isn't one of this plant's most prominent features? http://www.habitas.org.uk/gardenflor...lia_grandi.htm I have experience with 'shrubs' whose natural growth stops somewhere around 20-30 feet (not of *my* choosing) and without constant pruning, they'd reach it in short order. |
