Question from
Julie Mountain
I am looking for something to give all year interest and hide my 2 compost bins. I love the sound of this shrub and that it is aromatic. I wonder if it would tolerate hard pruning to the required size, which would be about 4ft high, 4 ft wide and quite flat at the front. Any advice welcomed by inexperienced gardener. Thanks
