| This plant grows and flops, until all the flowers are resting on the ground. Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? I like the plant; I just want it to stand up and bloom. It is in full sun, so that is not the problem. |

| Keep it sheared to 18" or 24" in height, or scale way back on irrigation so it doesn't grow so tall._ |

| When I lived in Long Beach, CA, a neighbor had a planting in the sideyard, along the fence where it was ignored -- never watered, never fertilized, never cut back. It did fine. Even so, the plant's normal habit is lax. It doesn't stand upright. Looks nice clambering over the ground. |

| I guess a ground-hugging plant is alright, except i bought it to feed the hummingbirds. I will probably move it at some point to the back forty, so it can do whatever it wants. |
