I have a rather large artemisia Silver King in my drought tolerant garden. After a good rainfall, it collapsed outward from the middle and whereas it used to look gorgeous,it now just looks messy. If I cut it back, will it grow again? and, I've heard they can be aggressive growers. If so, should I also prune it? Also, should Bee Balm be pruned to the ground in the fall? Thanks in advance.......... Alice Quote \| Reply \| Report

I have it in my garden- one little 4 inch pot covers 10 square feet now LOL! You won't hurt it and it does look much nicer if kept cut. Quote \| Reply \| Report
