Landscaping
anyone have or familar with [Giant Hyssop?]('http://www.naturenorth.com/summer/hyssop/Fhyssop.html')
Sucker has gotten huge & I'm thinking of severely pruning it. I've read what I can find which does recommend frequent pruning but I want to take it down to like 18 to 24 inches above the ground. I cut it down lower last Fall after the frost took it out. Pretty much right to the ground.
I've found a lot of information regarding pruning but nothing to tell me if I can cut it back to the height I want to this time of year. And will it re-bloom? It's about shoulder height to me now. I'm 5'8 - 5'9 depending on how depressed I maybe at the moment. :)
Just wondering if any of you amateur gardeners have done this. I don't want to kill it.
It's a great perennial & herb as well. Very fragrant. Attracts tons of butterflies & bumble bees.

That all your place Mike or some new "job sites."
Way back when I lived on LI my neighbor was a Tree Surgeon. The day after a major storm you'd see him driving around in his truck, smoking a fat stogie, holding his clipboard and singing "I'm in the Money".
