The guy cutting hedges (for the village) went a little too far towards our gate. There

Anyone know how these respond to "cutting back hard?" Grrr.


I have to prune mine back fairly hard from time to time because it is
really vigorous when fully established. It has always come back well.
I hope yours does too because there is nothing more beautiful when
it's in full bloom, and truly well named.
