Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
- The best yellow color appears on one and two-year-old stems; older stems will turn corky and brown.
- To maintain a colorful display, you can do one of two things: one, cut the whole plant back to short stubs every other year.
- Two, cut out one-third of the oldest stems every year.
- Early spring is the best time to prune.
