| And, you can offer cuttings for trade when you prune!!!! They can be pruned at any time. In fact, pruning is recommended after blooming since blooms form on new growth. |

| Thanks for the advice. Somewhere I had heard you shouldn't prune them. I'm glad to get the truth. Happy gardening everyone. |
