Andrew that is last years growth....we dont cut it back, we wait for the first frosts to do that, and we had a very mild winter, so it carried on growing!!

How old is your plant DD? Mine is 15 years old, and carried its first flowers this year - all 29 of them! I let two of them go to seed, but only about 20% of the pods had a seed in them.
