This was already in the yard when we moved here so donβt blame me 
Mother Nature is the only one who takes care of it but i do wonder⦠should I trim all of those sticks? Or leave it be?
Happy for the new growth though! I need to, if Iβm able to, remove all of the dead leaves around/ in it.
That doesnβt look too bad! I have one in my yard and we never prune it and itβs still blooming each summer.
The plant looks great! But you should cut back the dead from last year!
It may not be gorgeous with the sticks but I wouldnβt cut them if I were you. Yay for the new growth tho!!
Iβm 50/50 on what to do because for 1. I wanna help it thrive, 2. Itβs survived this long without any intervention it seems and lastly, last year it had a lot of blooms on those βsticks β and now, nothing.
Itβs still early spring so MAYBE there will be a change, but doesnβt seem like it 
Iβd definitely do more research on what to do before making a decision
We have one, and I donβt know the exact method and cutting process but I know theyβre cut back each yearβ¦
Me being me, Iβd cut off all the dead branches, but the ones really dead, not just inactiveβ¦
If the sticks are dead then prune them back but not entirely. If they are alive but not flowering i would still prune them
Yeah, Iβll have to inspect closer to see. I briefly looked at it and noticed some sort of care needs to be done.
I probably shouldnβt give anyone gardening advice lol. I think I have killed more plants than I have grown
Lol Iβm always researching or asking before I do or get anything.
Never too late to learn how to properly care for them 
ar naur :(
