Hi all.
I sowed a packet of Sara Ravens "Gaura. The bride, or butterfly flower ...white, last September on my allotment and though not all germinated I got a good return on my packet of seeds. Well, I dug them all up and re potted them just so I could safely overwinter them in my unheated green house. I'm proud to say they are doing really well!
However the have started a spurt of growth from the base leaves and I guess it's what will be flower stems eventually.they are about 6" long and around 5-6 on each plant. I feel inclined to cut them back to conserve energy in the plant for later in the season and promote a healthier plant also to stop early flowering. Is that the right thing to do? I would like to post a picture but don't know how sorry.
