Periodic pruning until mid summer will produce more stems and a later blooming plant. These plants require a lot of maintenance (winter mulching, abundant fertilizer and water, spraying every couple weeks for powdery mildew) to maintain their quality of appearance. 'Orange Perfection' has salmon-orange blossoms.
