1 Answer

Answer :

You might try to cut it back but I am not sure. But what I do know about this anual  is that you can bring it inside and it will continue to bloom all winter. In the spring I bring them back outside and they have new growth. This is my 3rd year with them and they were spindly looking at first. A month later they were full of new growth.
