While most of these offered are 2-year field-grown plants, 
some Species are so difficult to propagate by our usual methods 
that we are forced to grow them in pots, but these will be found 
to be just as sturdy as our usual field-grown stock. 
Pruning: This may present quite a problem to the amateur, 
but nothing need be done to them beyond cutting out dead wood 
and enough surplus growth to keep the plants shapely if desired.
