I don’t know, Linda, with any certainty, but you are correct that the regimen is to cut back late winter/early spring…to prompt it to use all that early store up energy to make fresh new growth. With presumably hot and relatively dry months ahead, seems like it would be stressful.

I am in Virginia if that matters at all. We are growing them for a cool seasonal display.
