Question from
Brian mc
I bought one of these and the pruning advice was to cut back any dead stems in the autumn which I did. However, since i cut it back and the winter has come in this plant has completely disapeared under ground. The advice on the description states that this is a full hardy plant and this has been a relatively mild winter so far. Can i expect this to grow back like other perrenials which are cut to ground level?
