We had one for three years (nick named Ethel) but then she just went woody and no flowers. Hope yours fairs better.

Such is life 3d.

Yes that it is Waddy I threw my last one thinking it was dead but the man at the charity garden said he cuts his back and puts them in the shed for over wintering then it shoots back come spring.

That's exactly what we did, although ours went into the garage. For three years it came back and flowered but the fourth year it just produced pathetic woody branches with a few leaves and no flowers whatsoever. ?

I ve been watching this Waddy

Now is this film he is cutting his back in October yet I read prior to this on another site not to cut them back in Autumn but in Spring is the best time.

We always cut ours back before bringing it in. We had to really as it had got too large otherwise, to get through the door.

Yes I can understand you had to cut it back . I dont know if you watched the link Waddy but that is what the man did and cut the roots getting it out of the big pot to place into a smaller pot.

31 Jul, 2017

 

Yes, I did watch it 3d. I never cut the roots, just repotted up in the spring in either a larger pot or one same size.
