Will it branch out at or near the point of the cut? Or just
put up more shoots from the roots? I would like to make some
of mine thicken up, and be more bush-like, but I've never
done any pruning on them, just let them grow however
they felt led. >>
Hi Harry, we seem to be in a bit of a muddle here. Roas of Sharon is
hypericum, a ground cover plant. Althea is the hollyhock, so I am not sure
which it is that you want to prune.
