Once the plant has flowered do I cut the flowerhead off? I would normally assume so but the fact that there are new leaves growing above it detered me!!! Can anyone help please?

Kooks, bottlebrush is a rangy grower anyway, to even though it isn't really necessary, as Bamboo says, it's a good opportunity to keep it compact.

Best to cut the flowers at their bases, despite the new leaves - you get a bit of an untidy bush if you don't, cos those new leaves you can see grow on, leaving a bare bit where the flower was.
