Have no place to let runners start new plants. Will cutting runners off encourage blossoming...or no affect? Quote \| Reply \| Edit \| Delete \| Report Quote \| Reply \| Report

Yum! If you want new plants, then next year, let them run, but cut off the line between each plant and transplant the new plant where you want it. Hope this helps! Quote \| Reply \| Report
