I could live with cutting this back!

They are a little rampant but worth the need to be trimed back. A nice plant

I shall HAVE to cut mine back next year - the shoots have grown about 6'...Yes, I agree, a lovely plant.

I trimmed it last week and ive put some of the cuttings in water to see if they root! Dont know why tho lol..

I do - because they're there! Good luck with them - let us know if they root.
