HI Y'all
I have a very big and very wide, er I'd say 7+ feet tall and 9+ feet spread, which is swamping my garden. I've only been here a year, and in the winter I pruned it, but OMG did something wrong because it now has a lot of bare sticks showing, although loads of foliage too and plenty of flowers to come.
It reaches out over my garden, swamping things, and although beautiful in flower, a true blue, it must be tamed. I don't want to mess with it right now as it is about to flower, but come the winter can I cut this very big, and very old (possibly 20 years or more) plant to the ground or will this kill it? Love it but just want it in a smaller form so I can plan my garden round it.
Thanks in advance.
Caro
